GabriellePatrice Chereau, 2005 Film DescriptionPatrice Chereau's adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novella The Return is a gripping chamber piece in which a bourgeois man's stable, comfortable life is unexpectedly shattered. The time is turn-of-the-century France. Jean and his wife Gabrielle are a well-to-do couple who spend much of their time throwing lavish dinner parties.One day however, Jean discovers a letter left behind by Gabrielle, in which she confesses to Jean that she has been sleeping with another man and is leaving him for good. Devastated, Jean is understandably shocked again when Gabrielle returns home just a few hours later. Jean's pride mixes with jealousy, anger and bitterness, and the once happy couple begins to realize just how different they actually are, sparking a final confrontation that will decide their fate once and for all.
