SYNOPSIS
A Member of Parliament (Irons) falls passionately in love with his son’s fiancée. They pursue their affair with obsessive abandon despite the dangers of discovery and what the liaison could do to his complacent life and his son. Completely obsessed, he wants to give up his current lifestyle to be with her. She has no intention of allowing him to do this, preferring to have her marriage to the son as a cover.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
An intimate and rebel filmmaker, Louis Malle avoided the distinctions between New Wave and modern cinema even from his first film, Elevator to the Gallows (1957). During his whole career he treated the most taboo and provocative subjects of his time, from incest to child prostitution, and the Second World War. He has won several awards (David Di Donatello Awards, Césars, European Film Academy, BAFTA and NSFC Award) for best director for the films May Fools, Au Revoir les Enfants and Atlantic City.
