The Man of My Life

French writer and director Zabou Breitman along with her co-writer Agnès de Sacy take on the male psychology in this stylish drama. Two men, one happily married heterosexual and the other happily homosexual meet and spent an evening chatting about life and love. The conversation has a profound effect on both men as they evaluate their beliefs that begins to shift and threatens their happiness. It's interesting to see the female point of view of men which is not entirely accurate but makes for fascinating cinema. Breitman succeeds more exploring "the grass is greener" theory than making a profound revelation. If the substance has its shortcomings, the glorious visuals compensates along with the fine performances, specially Charles Berling who has transformed himself entirely.
