DIARY OF A FLEATING AFFAIR

Emmanuel Mouret’s eleventh feature film, after Lady J (2018) and The Things We Say, the Things We Do (2020). The French director reiterates his affection for the style of Billy Wilder, François Truffaut and Woody Allen. A single mother and a married man become lovers. They pledge to see each other only for a fleeting affair and to have no hope of love, knowing full well that their relationship has no future. However, something very strong will happen... At once light, joyful, charming and profound, this is the kind of film only Mouret has the secret of, carried by Sandrine Kiberlain’s grace and Vincent Macaigne’s beautiful vulnerability.
