Catherine (Fanny Ardant) suspects her husband Bernard (Gérard Depardieu) is cheating on her. She meets call girl Marlène (Emmanuelle Béart) and hires her to seduce Bernard. She renames her Nathalie and gives her insights into him. Nathalie comes back regularly to give reports on details of their sexual encounters.
The twist is telegraphed a mile away. When it's revealed, it is without tension or drama. I would rather the movie be straight forward and show the truth right from the start. It could have gone into much deeper waters. The sexual connections with its accompanying tension have the more interesting possibilities. This is torture waiting the movie to do the 'reveal'.
