This entertaining, philosophical romance revolves around the copy of one of Gregoire's (Melvil Poupaud) books–actually Soren Kierkegaard's "Diary of a Seducer." The book's treatise on love casts a love spell on an assortment of not-quite-"normal" characters and provides the catalyst for an entertaining storyline.

Genre: Foreign / Drama
Director: Raoul Ruiz
Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, Melvil Poupaud, Andrzej Seweryn, Bernadette Lafont, Monique Melinand, Hubert Saint-Macary, Jean-Yves Gautier, Mathieu Amalric, Camila Mora
Less-than-successful attorney Solange (Catherine Deneuve) is appointed to defend Rene (Michel Piccoli) who is accused of killing his Aunt Jeanne (also played by Catherine Deneuve). Jeanne was a psychoanalyst, and the plot follows the psychiatric vein of contemporary France–deep and boring to those not into French philosophy.
