The Blue Room

A man and a woman, secretly in love, alone in a room. They desire each other, want each other, even bite each other. In the afterglow, they share a few sweet nothings. At least, the man seems to believe they were nothing. Now under investigation by the police and the courts, Julien fails to find the words."Life is different when one lives it and peels it off afterwards". What happened? What is he accused of? David Stratton - "For his second feature film as director, Mathieu Amalric has turned to a book by crime writer Georges Simenon about a passionate small-town love affair that ends in death and retribution. Amalric himself plays Julien, a married man who embarks on a clandestine affair with Esther (Stéphanie Cléau).  Lovers of well-made thriller and tasteful eroticism will be amply rewarded by Amalric's stylish and intelligent treatment."
