关于此电影

When two American sisters become caught up in the intimate intrigue of Paris, cultures and human passions collide. The result is a comedy of manners and morals, money and marriage, sex and sorority that sheds incandescent light on what it means to be an American abroad. LE DIVORCE follows the journey of Isabel Walker (Kate Hudson), a quintessential young Californian newly arrived in the City of Light to visit her pregnant sister, Roxeanne (Naomi Watts). A darkly romantic poet, Roxy has just been jilted by her scoundrel husband, Charles-Henri de Persand (Melvil Poupaud), and it appears they are headed for "le divorce." Meanwhile, Isabel leaps into l'amour with a married French diplomat (Thierry Lhermitte) who happens to be the uncle of Roxy's soon-to-be-ex. As scandal ensues, the American idealism and irrepressible spirit of the Walker sisters comes up against the French sophistication and stubborn rationalism of the Persand family.

评分和评价

"Le Divorce" should receive more recognition as a classic. I loved the subtle play of the relationships between different characters. It may be a little stereotypical towards the French -- but I wouldn't know. I've never been anywhere near the French life. Still, the culture clash makes an interesting matter to watch.

One of my all time favs!

nice job on the pictures.
