Gabrielle
Directed by Patrice Chéreau
Produced by Azor Films
A melancholic, intellectually rigorous dissection of a marriage's collapse between two bourgeois Parisians, told through intimate dialogue and unresolved emotional tension.
Wealthy but arrogant writer Jean Hervey comes home one day to find that his wife, Gabrielle, has left him for another man. Realizing her mistake, Gabrielle returns, and the pair begin a merciless analysis of their marriage as the relationship comes undone.
