Summary:
"5x2 is a haunting and realistic evocation of the evanescence of love and how adult relationships evolve over time ... François Ozon crafts a chamber drama that is an anatomy of a failed marriage told in reverse chronology, starting with the finalization of the couples divorce and concluding, literally, as they walk off into the sunset for their first encounter. Subverting the conventions of cinema romance along with audience expectations of happy endings, Ozon focuses on five key chapters in these two people's lives-- including the first blush of sexual attraction, the wedding night and the birth of their first child-- that reveal the inextricable emotional ties between them...at the same time that they expose the inevitable seeds of discord"--Container.
