Venice 71: Film Festival – 3
Coeurs (3 Hearts) – Benoit Jacquot. 3 Coeurs directed by Benoit Jacquot stars Benoit Poelvoorde, Charlotte Gainsbourg,
Chiara Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. One night in a French provincial
city, Marc meets Sylvie after missing his train back to Paris. They wander
through the streets until morning, talking about everything except themselves,
in rare, almost choreographed, harmony. Marc takes the first train back, and
sets a date with Sylvie in Paris, a few days later. They know nothing about
each other, but this is much more than a game. Sylvie keeps the date.
Misfortune befalls Marc, and he cannot. He searches for her and ends up finding
someone else: Sophie. He does not know that she is Sylvie’s sister. Marc and
Sylvie meet again. Their unparalleled harmony still exists... but it is too
late...
