Three Friends: Emmanuel Mouret’s film divides its attention between three characters in this mostly serious sexual farce, and that is both its strength and weakness. The three friends face different issues in their love lives, which allows for a broader look at relationships and sexual politics, typically without moralism. The downside is that the pace suffers towards the end, as some threads take a long time to conclude. The acting is solid: India Hair plays the darker role, of a wife and mother who fell out of love with her husband; Sara Forestier plays the lighter, more farcical role, of the friend who has to balance the friendship with the fact she has an affair with one of the husbands; Camille Cottin fills the middle, as a wife who was never passionate about her husband to begin with. Vincent Macaigne plays one husband and narrates the film, and he plays the insecure, slightly neurotic man so well. The film is set in beautiful Lyon, a less frequently but very charming setting; cinematographer Laurent Desmet captures it all with an elegant, traditional camerawork. The music, both the licensed tracks and the original score by Benjamin Esdraffo, is beautiful and complements the action well.
