The Art of Love

The Art of Love (L'art d'aimer) is composed of several chapters following several Parisian couples. Isabelle (Julie Depardieu) has not had sex in a year. She declines an offer from her friend Zoe (Pascale Arbillot) to "borrow" her husband and instead winds up impersonating Amelie (Judith Godreche), another friend who cannot bring herself to sleep with her buddy, Boris (Laurent Stocker). The singleton Achille (Francois Cluzet) thinks his prayers have been answered when his svelte new neighbor (Frederique Bel) knocks on his door wearing a negligee and suggests they have an affair. In another chapter, a middle-aged couple's marriage is threatened when wife Emmanuelle (Ariane Ascaride) finds herself lusting after every attractive man she lays eyes upon and a pair of young lovers (Elodie Navarre and Gaspard Ulliel) discover the pangs of jealousy.
