A love story that has bewitched audiences and critics worldwide, MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON delicately captures the initial stirrings of romance. Vincent Lindon plays Jean, a burly and happily married housing contractor. One fateful afternoon, he picks up his son (Arthur Le Houérou) from school and meets the teacher, a willowy beauty named Mademoiselle Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain). Their flirtation slowly builds over lingering glances and an impromptu violin solo in Chambon's apartment. Like the classical music they swoon over, their relationship builds through subtle movements: the tilt of a head or an inadvertent brush of the cheek fills their hearts with longing. Jean soon comes to a crossroads, having to choose between the intensity of his bond with Chambon or the responsibility and care he feels for his wife (Aure Atika) and child. An evocation of what it feels like to fall dizzyingly in love, MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON won the Cesar (the French Oscar) for best Adapted Screenplay and is an unqualified triumph for director Stéphane Brizé.

Fabulous movie, great script, good photography, well edited, nice pacing, adult emotions accurately portrayed. Would you conclude I loved this movie? I did.
It may be a somewhat more dramatic movie for those who are a little older and have lived the emotional decisions that are portrayed in the movie; in which case, the movie may break your heart or move you to tears or feel blessed that you had the courage to follow love in a painful situation (and feel the regret of the hurt caused by your decision). Life and love are not easy.
An excellent, subtle, evocative film that does a beautiful job building intrigue and sexual tension as it unfolds. The average American movie-goer and those accustomed to action drama may not understand the delicate subtleties that build throughout this wonderful film.
