Film Description

Using the observations of human behavioural theorist Henry Laborit as its starting point, Alain Resnais’ masterpiece is an intelligent comedy/drama about three Paris professionals' intertwining lives.
Rene (Gerard Depardieu) is successful manager in a textile factory facing the prospect of down-sizing with his position under threat; Jean (Roger Pierre) is a political star on the rise but whose marital life is in tatters; and Janine (Nicole Garcia), is a struggling actress who works for Rene and is having an affair with Pierre, connecting the two men.
