"After Sex (Post Coitum)"
1997
Directed by Brigitte Rouan

A serious portrait of obsession with a comical edge, Post Coitum is a fine showcase for the directing and acting talents of Brigitte Rouan. Rouan stars as a married book editor in her forties who meets a client's much younger roommate and almost immediately falls into an intense, sexual relationship with him. When their affair ends, she has an emotional breakdown that takes a toll on all aspects of her life. "...inventive, angry and sardonically funny..." (Dave Kehr, New York Daily News). French with English subtitles.  97 minutes.
