A Faithful Man
(L'homme fidèle)
Year: 2018
Country:
FRANCE
Language:
French
Run Time:
75 minutes
After many years together, Marianne abruptly tells Abel she is pregnant by their mutual friend, Paul, and she is going to marry him. Abel steps aside but never stops loving her. Years later, Paul suddenly dies in his sleep. At the funeral, Abel reconnects with Marianne and meets her young son, Joseph. He also reconnects with Paul’s young sister, Eve, now an attractive woman. Eve always had a crush on Abel, never understanding why Marianne chose her brother over Abel. Feelings long buried are about to re-emerge, and their relationships are about to get complicated. A FAITHFUL MAN lets each of these characters narrate his or her own story and viewpoints. While the story wafts along like a pleasant spring breeze, the underlying longing and pain of these individuals adds a bittersweet spice. At cross-purposes with each other, as well as themselves, finding love and happiness has suddenly become a snarl nobody is sure how to untangle, a charming and wistful quest as unpredictable as the human heart. (In French with subtitles) —C.R.
