From NetFlix:

When shy schoolteacher and gifted violinist Véronique Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain) invites blue-collar construction worker Jean (Vincent Lindon) to speak to her class about his trade, she’s surprised to find herself irresistibly attracted to him — and the feeling is mutual. But the gulf in their social positions and Jean’s marital status complicate matters in this quiet drama, which snagged an Independent Spirit Award nod for Best Foreign Film.

For the patient romantic only. Not only is the pace slow and quiet, but the film shots linger on and on. In this French film (with optional subtitles) often what is NOT said speaks loud and clear.

Basically it is the story of an attraction more than an affair. Personally I was thrilled that in at least one film the characters retain their honor and do the right thing.

For those of you who watch, do you think that Jean’s brooding and fixated behavior rings true ?
