Monica Bellucci and Louis Garrel caught in one stormy-steamy
relationship proper of an actress and a painter? – I am running to the theater!
In the words of Manohla Dargis of New York Times:

a diary of a tortured soul, eager to explore its intricacies yet stay impartial
and untarnished. Those day-to-day moments of pondering silences, stolen glances
and feelings of great intimacy mixed with alienation make Garrel’s works
voyeuristic and visually striking. Even though his pensive poetry and austerely
