- Synopsis:
Patrice Chereau's gripping and intimate drama, adapted from Joseph Conrad's novella "The Return", charts the sudden unravelling of a bourgeois married couple's perfectly ordered lives. Pascal Greggory plays the affluent and successful Jean Hervey, whose world is shattered when he arrives home to find a letter from his wife Gabrielle (Isabelle Huppert) in which she confesses to an affair and announces she has left him. But when a remorseful Gabrielle unexpectedly returns, the scene is set for a confrontation fraught with anger, bitterness and revelation that will seal the couple's fate forever. Atmospherically recreating Belle Epoque Paris in visually stunning style and featuring two exceptional lead performances, "Gabrielle" is an extraordinarily intense and unrelentingly emotional study of a relationship in crisis. - Actors:
