Avec Amour Et Acharnement (aka Both Side Of The Blade) (2022)

A radio talk show host (Juliette Binoche) has been living with her lover (Vincent Lindon) for ten years. When they met, she was involved with another man (Gregoire Colin) and when he suddenly reenters their lives, things spiral out of control. Based on the novel UN TOURNANT DE LA VIE by Christine Angot and directed by Claire Denis (BEAU TRAVAIL). A deeply disturbing look at a complex love triangle. I found it difficult to empathize with Bincoche's character. She's a phony, she's a liar, she's duplicitous and she hurts people. Her live in lover deserves better. Filmed during the Covid pandemic in 2021, the characters in the film wear masks when outside their homes. The performances are top notch and Denis keeps a driving intensity that slowly grows into a powerhouse conclusion. With Bulle Ogier, Alice Houri and Issa Perica.
