poetic interconnections
9 May 2015
Valentine Dussaut (Irène Jacob) is a young model in Geneva. She accidentally run over a dog. The dog's owner is retired judge Joseph Kern (Jean-Louis Trintignant). He seems unconcerned and Valentine takes the dog to the vet. The dog returns to Kern where Valentine discovers that he eavesdrop on his neighbors' phone calls. Meanwhile Auguste Bruner and his girlfriend Karin are on one of those phone calls as his life intertwines with Valentine.

I'm sure that I missed one hundred different things in this movie. The interconnections are fascinating. I do want more energetic life from the movie. It's a bit slow. I would have prefer Kern's story be reenacted rather than just simply told. The connections are poetic. My biggest suggestion is to watch the trilogy in order.
