Both Sides of the Blade

Paris, and already winter. Sarah and Jean love each other. They have lived together for several years. Their love makes them happy, strong. There is mutual trust, and the desire never died down. One morning Sarah crosses paths with François who introduced her to Jean. And it is François she left for Jean without hesitating.

Claire Denis, who directed Beau Travail and 35 Shots of Rum, explores the fickleness of love with Juliette Binoche, Vincent Lindon, and Grégoire Colin. The film was awarded the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival.
