Perfect Love (1996)

AKA:
Parfait Amour >> French

Synopsis:
Another frank depiction of sexual obsession from Breillat which despite several instances of full frontal nudity is not particularly graphic until a short orgy sequence in the films latter stages. While the film is rather long and talky it is also surprisingly compelling aided considerably by its two excellent central performances particularly Isabelle Renaulds its semi-documentary/flashback framework then leads to a shocking inevitable finale. Having a relationship with a beautiful mature woman is every young mans dream and for a while Francis Renaud lives it but before long his unwillingness to let go of his chauvinistic male friends (who are prone to graphically describe their sexual prowess in front of his female companion) and seriously commit to his relationship is too heavy a burden for them both ironically it is Renauds attempt at taking on the role of father-figure (by taking an interest in Renaulds teenage girl) which triggers off the differences between them and which keep escalating as the film goes along.
