Adolphe (Stanislas Merhar) is a carefree, somewhat jaded 22-year-old, scion of a preeminent aristocratic family, with a very promising political career ahead of him. To Adolphe, love means conquest, and since he is bored, love is a good pastime. At a soir\u00e9e given by the Count (Jean Yanne) in his sumptuous castle, Adolphe sets his eyes on the beautiful Ell\u00e9nore (Isabelle Adjani), a young widow, ten years his elder, mother of two children. She also happens to be the Count\u0027s mistress. Adolphe falls in love with Ell\u00e9nore, for lack of a better thing to do. At first, Ell\u00e9nore resists Adolphe\u0027s feverish advances. He insists, becoming an overwhelming presence (and nuisance) in Ell\u00e9nore\u0027s life. Eventually, she surrenders. Soon after, the novelty of this adventure wearing out, Adolphe tries to liberate himself from his new lover, who has become a burden in his life, an obstacle to his freedom. However, he cannot bring himself to altogether sever his relationship with Ell\u00e9nore, as the idea of making her suffer is to him unbearable.\n\nEll\u00e9nore loses everything as she tries desperately to \u0022hang onto\u0022 her lover: her children, the Count\u0027s protection, her status in society. For his part, Adolphe\u0027s life is in limbo, as he is unable to break once and for all with his now dying love affair. He offends his father, who demands his return to a more conventional life, and he abhors his own indecisiveness, his inability to end his love affair and regain his freedom. What follows is the fallout of an obsessive relationship: unbearable guilt, accusations, and poison letters of recriminations between the two parties. Eventually this emotional charade ends up in death and misery.","wins":1,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Isabelle Adjani","code":"nm0000254","characters":"Ell\u00e9nore"},{"name":"Stanislas Merhar","code":"nm0580720","characters":"Adolphe"},{"name":"Jean Yanne","code":"nm0946179","characters":"The Count"},{"name":"Romain Duris","code":"nm0244151","characters":"D\u0027Erfeuil"},{"name":"Jean-Louis Richard","code":"nm0723827","characters":"Mr. d\u0027Arbigny"},{"name":"Anne Suarez","code":"nm1139628","characters":"Mrs. d\u0027Arbigny"},{"name":"Jean-Marc Stehl\u00e9","code":"nm0825279","characters":"Adolphe\u0027s Father"},{"name":"Maryline Even","code":"nm0263409","characters":"Housemaid"},{"name":"Olween Heudig","code":"nm1237906","characters":"La gouvernante"},{"name":"Cindy David","code":"nm1239744","characters":"La fille d\u0027Ell\u00e9nore"},{"name":"Gabriel-Kane Day Lewis","code":"nm1237500","characters":"Le fils d\u0027Ell\u00e9nore"},{"name":"Bernard Ballet","code":"nm0050814","characters":"Le pr\u00e9fet"},{"name":"Isild Le Besco","code":"nm0494066","characters":"La ling\u00e8re"},{"name":"Pierre Charras","code":"nm0153469","characters":"Le valet de chambre"},{"name":"R\u00e9my Roubakha","code":"nm0745516","characters":"Le concierge"},{"name":"Fran\u00e7ois Chattot","code":"nm0154210","characters":"L\u0027ambassadeur"},{"name":"Patrice Juiff","code":"nm0432107","characters":"L\u0027ing\u00e9nieur"},{"name":"Jean-Claude Braquet","code":"nm0105320","characters":"Le palefrenier"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":{"amount":1052964,"currency":"USD"},"keywords":[{"text":"character name as title"},{"text":"forename as title"},{"text":"one word title"},{"text":"based on novel"}],"production":[{"id":"co0050869","text":"ARP S\u00e9lection"},{"id":"co0028557","text":"Canal+"},{"id":"co0044140","text":"France 3 Cin\u00e9ma"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0283567","title":"La repentie"},{"code":"tt0310778","title":"Bon Voyage"},{"code":"tt0108372","title":"Toxic Affair"},{"code":"tt0084358","title":"Deadly Circuit"},{"code":"tt1286809","title":"Skirt Day"},{"code":"tt0073114","title":"The Story of Adele H"},{"code":"tt0094828","title":"Camille Claudel"},{"code":"tt0329388","title":"Monsieur Ibrahim"},{"code":"tt0082964","title":"Quartet"},{"code":"tt6892462","title":"The World Is Yours"},{"code":"tt0110963","title":"Queen Margot"},{"code":"tt0087592","title":"The Last Horror Film"}]}
