5x2 Movie Review 2004

The unhappy marriage of Marion (Bruni-Tedeschi) and Gilles (Freiss) is chronicled backwards in five scenes (with two characters, hence the title), beginning with their divorce and ending with their first meeting and includes a dinner party, childbirth, and their wedding night. The couple is basically a disaster from the beginning of their relationship and you won't be terribly sympathetic (or surprised) about what happens. French with subtitles.
