LE MARIAGE À TROIS

France
2010
104 minutes

A playwright receives his actress ex-wife and her co-star, who also happens to be her new lover, to discuss his new play, but the meeting turns into a game of seduction for all the parties involved. Exquisitely handled and performed sexual roundelay whose flimsy scripting leads it to overstay its welcome after 30 minutes; worth a look just for the performances and the masterful handling.
