La Vie D'une Autre (Another Woman) I chose because I liked the plot. Specifically I liked the "making the man fall for her again" part of the plot. However the film was cut (during the two love scenes especially jarring since obviously something happened in the first one) and I didn't like it that much. The story is interesting though and I like Juliette Binoche and Mathieu Kassovitz. This woman wakes up one that and sees that she has lived 10 years without remembering anything about them. The last thing she remembers is her birthday party. Firstly she has a son, she married to the man she fell in love at first sight and she is rich. But slowly she finds out that she is career oriented and on the verge of a divorce (the process initiated by her). She is at a high position at a prestigious firm and is having an affair. And she doesn't understand any of it. Her mother doesn't talk to her, her invalid father is dead and her husband is aloof and doesn't treat her nicely. Her son is going to elementary school and he loves her but she realises that she doesn't spend time with him. These wouldn't have been the worst things but she is the woman 10 years ago. Happy, confident, not rich but with the promise of a good career ahead of her. She is in love, she cares for her family, her dad and her mother, she has a great best friend and one day she wakes up to find herself this cold woman who enjoys different things. As I said I liked the plot but the film, not so much.
Spoliers!
At least it had a sort of happy ending.
