The chemistry between comic virtuosi Sandrine Kiberlain and Vincent Macaigne is nothing short of magical in Emmanuel Mouret<\/b>‘s delicate romantic dramedy, <\/span>Diary of a Fleeting Affair<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 Another variation on the director’s wry, ongoing conundrum over love and sex \/ fidelity and infidelity, the beautifully-written, elliptical film immediately plunges us into the heart of that delicious dilemma in scene one.\u00a0 Free-spirited Charlotte, a single mother of three grown kids, and Simon, a conflicted, happily-married man she blithely kissed goodbye at a recent party, meet in a bar.\u00a0 Over their first drink, she suggests they embrace the strong attraction between them and launch into a purely sexual dalliance.\u00a0 One with no emotional ties and no expectations of longevity.\u00a0 Simon hesitantly agrees, “Things are more beautiful, more intense, when we know we may never see them again.”\u00a0 What follows is a series of playful rendezvous, filled with intellectual banter, off-screen sensuality and genuine intimacy.\u00a0 But what permeates the screen in the occasional long pauses and awkward silences is the unspoken bond inevitably building between them.\u00a0 Dare we call it love?<\/span><\/p>\n

A 1998 graduate of La F\u00e9mis film school in Paris, writer\/director Emmanuel Mouret<\/b> was first introduced to American audiences at COLCOA in 2005.\u00a0 Like Woody Allen, he has often played the na\u00efve, clumsy hero in his films, beginning with his first shorts <\/span>Caresse<\/i> (1998) and <\/span>Prom\u00e8ne-toi donc tout nu<\/i> (1999).\u00a0 He has directed 11 feature films to date.\u00a0 <\/span>V\u00e9nus et Fleur<\/i> (COLCOA 2005) and <\/span>Change of Address<\/i> (COLCOA 2007) both premiered at the Director\u2019s Fortnight parallel section at Cannes, and <\/span>Shall We Kiss?<\/i> (COLCOA 2008) was presented at the Venice Film Festival.\u00a0 <\/span>The Art of Love<\/i> (COLCOA 2012) <\/span>won the Foreign Press Award at the Hamburg Film Festival and the Best Screenplay Award at the Montr\u00e9al World Film Festival.\u00a0 <\/span>Other titles include <\/span>Another Life<\/i> (2013); <\/span>Caprice<\/i> (COLCOA 2015); and the period film <\/span>Lady J<\/i>, which was adapted from a novel by Diderot.\u00a0 <\/span>Love Affair(s<\/i>) (COLCOA 2021) was named Best French Film by the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics, nabbed a Best Screenplay Award at the Faro Island Film Festival, a Lumi\u00e8re Award for Best Film, and led France\u2019s C\u00e9sar Award nominations that year with a total of 14 nods, including Best Director and Best Film, and picking up the Best Supporting Actress Award for \u00c9milie Dequenne.\u00a0 <\/span>Diary of a Fleeting Affair<\/i><\/b> premi\u00e8red at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diary-of-a-fleeting.png” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
