Five Times Two (Cinco Vezes)
Directed by François Ozon1h 30m2010
As young French couple Gilles and Marion officially separate, we see, in reverse order, the milestone moments in their relationship: Gilles revealing his unfaithfulness at a tense dinner party; Marion giving birth to their premature son while Gilles is elsewhere; Gilles and Marion's joyous wedding; and, finally, the fateful moment when they meet as acquaintances at an Italian beach resort, and their love affair begins.
Our read: Five Times Two (Cinco Vezes) (2010) reads as a sombre, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Sombre, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
