FIVE TIMES TWO or how to live with someone else: five moments in the life of a modern couple…
5×2 shows five scenes from a modern marriage in reverse order, like Pinter’s Betrayal. We see its disintegration from the final calamity to its genesis, and gain a stunning insight into an ordinary middle-class relationship: that of Marion (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) and Gilles (Stéphane Freiss). First, the divorce proceedings, then an unhappy dinner party, the birth of the couple’s only son, the wedding and finally the first meeting. The result is a shrewd, compassionate and often quite brilliant essay in the secret theatre of relationships. – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
