Marie and Jean have been married over 25 years. She is in her fifties. Without him, her confidence melts, which is why she needs the illusion of his physical presence beside her, even when making love to another man. She cannot move on, which leaves the film in limbo. Charlotte Rampling has the unenviable task of putting a brave face on loneliness and allowing misery to compromise her good looks.
Vulnerability is seen to be naked.
