5x2 (Cinq Fois Deux) (R)

synopsis

In five glimpses of a married couple -- Marion and Gilles -- we see the couple's story backwards. First, there are the unhappy divorce proceedings, followed by an uneasy dinner party, childbirth and their wedding, and the moment the couple meet. The couple's dissatisfactions and tensions unfold, revealing their sources in rifts or in seemingly innocent moments that become the seeds for the eventual separation.
