En plein coeur (1998) *

Directed by Pierre Jolivet. With Virginie Ledoyen, Carole Bouquet et Gerard Lanvin. What happens when a sexy-young-girl-in-trouble (Ledoyen) meets a horny-middle-aged-lawyer (Lanvin)? He tells her to get out of his office, that's what. But what happens when she tries to lift her skirt? Ah, then he falls hopelessly in love with her and unceremoniously dumps his beautiful wife (Bouquet). Watching such films one could get an impression that all French women spend their youth as mistresses and their mature years as cheated wives.
