A Girl Cut in Two

Rating: 8 out of 10
Starring: Francois Berleand, Ludivine Sagnier, Benoit Magimel
Genre: Drama, Adult

This is the story of a young female TV personality who gets romantically involved with an aging literary celebrity. At the same time, she is pursued relentlessly by an unstable, wealthy young heir to a considerable fortune. After the older man decides to free himself from the entanglement, the young heir seizes the opportunity to pursue the young woman into marriage.

The stage is set for what one reviewer calls a climax reminiscent of the famous romantic triangle involving New York architect Stanford White, husband Harry Thaw, and showgirl Evelyn Nesbit which occurred in the l900's.

This is a very good, intriguing movie, well done.
