"Alice and Martin"
1998
Directed by Andre Techine

Alexis Loret plays a man haunted by his family history who becomes a social outcast before taking refuge in his half-brother's residence. There he meets a third roommate--a beautiful violinist who enters into a passionate affair with the newcomer, though the secret of his past hovers over them. "A film of surprising depth and a few deep surprises...full of gorgeous photography, swift, elegant editing and meticulously composed scenes" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times). Olivier Assayas (Irma Vep) contributed to the screenplay. Featuring Juliette Binoche. French with English subtitles. 124 minutes.
