Partir
- Director: Catherine Corsini
- Starring: Kristin Scott Thomas, Sergi López, Yvan Attal.
- Details: TBC/France/90 minutes
There's little spice left in Suzanne's (Scott Thomas) highly bourgeois marriage to physician Samuel (Attal), so it's no surprise when she jumps at the chance to hook up with Ivan (López), an ex-con hired to fix up her chiropractor's office. When she finally decides - despite two children and various creature comforts - to leave Samuel for good, hubby launches a plan of revenge and blackmail. Tightly wound and crafted, with robust performances by Kristin Scott Thomas and Sergi López, the film offers a rough, no-frills take on a story as old as France itself.
