Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

smatysia A cute little French film, although about a quarter of the film is in English. At least it seems to be about (relativly) normal people's problems, and not just a bunch of surly beret-ed existentialists whining about the common man. Charlotte Gainsbourg is quite cute, but seems just a bit lacking to cast as a superstar actress. The farcical nude scene shot is quite amusing. Yvan Attal was OK. It's not always easy to critique a film, or an actor's performance when it is in a foreign language. I may be missing a lot of subtle nuances. But then again, I may not. I'd say it's worth checking out for something a bit different, although it's really a bit closer to Hollywood fare than most French films.

Whitney Bryan Charlotte is a film star, and Yvan is a sports journalist. When Charlotte goes to London to make a film with a famous English actor who is just as famous for seducing his leading ladies, Yvan becomes jealous and follows his wife to London, putting their marriage at risk.The film is most interesting for its look at the difficulty of relationships when other people get involved. Yvan becomes truly jealous only after others encourage him to have doubts. His jealousy becomes an obsession and leads Charlotte to look at her co-star, who seems very supporting and caring, with new eyes.This 2001 French film is a nice directorial debut from actor Attal, who claims that all his films have an autobiographical aspect. In fact, Attal is married to his co-star, Charlotte Gainsbourg.SPOILER COMMENT: Many on this site have commented about the lie Charlotte tells at the end of the film. I have to comment that this lie stems from a European mentality that does not translate very well into American. A French friend of mine once told me that if her husband had an affair but realized that it was a mistake, she would not want to know about it. As she said, she would not want her life ruined over a mistake. He would feel guilty enough. Of course, not everyone in Europe feels this way, but many do, and I believe that this scene stems from such a mentality.

heresmycomment I love this movie. it doesn't have special effects or anything. it is just a basic story about a husband and wife. The acting is superb!!! The jokes are actually funny. The only thing I didnot like was the DP's work. Some of the shots could have been better angle.

George Parker "My Wife is an Actress" is all about a man who becomes jealous of his wife's handsome costar when she's required to do boudoir scenes. A so-so romantic comedy with precious little romance, this flick fails to focus on the central question which asks: How do you know if your wife is cheating de facto, in heart or mind, while she performs in bed with another man for the cameras? Instead, the film ruminates about the jealous husband and the tentative wife with occasional excursions into a whole side matter about circumcision which contributes nothing while managing to conjure up a few delightfully clever scenes. With good art, excellent camera work, and solid performances, this half English, half French flick makes for a nominal subtitled watch best saved for broadcast. (B-)
