The Girl Cut In Two - 2007 - 6/10
AKA - La Fille Coupée en Deux

Girl in question is local weathergirl chased by an aged roué and a young wastrel.
In the best ménage à trois traditions, the female attempts to navigate both males.
The provincial town is rather small, however.
The older man, a writer, frequents a sybaritic den with other dissolutes.
The younger man is spoiled, insecure, prone to violence.
Talky (as expected), laced with bedroom politics and petty rivalries.

Note - I braced myself for another French talk-o-drama.
During opening credits, I announced aloud,
“Look, Mathilda May!”
“Who’s that?” asked one of the girls.
“Brilliant thespian,” I said. “She starred in the classic Lifeforce.”
“Oh? Any good?”
“Unforgettable.”
