Three Hearts - 2014 - 5/10
AKA - 3 Coeurs
Tax accountant misses the last train, ends up walking midnight streets with a woman out buying cigarettes.
He suffers panic attacks, she has esteem problems.
They make a date to rendezvous in Paris later, only one gets stood up.
Tailspin from there.
One character relocates abroad - the other hooks up with their sibling!
Mind you, the original midnight strollers had never exchanged phone numbers, let alone names, so the subsequent encounter was sheer coincidence. - Fate -
Or, the hand of a clumsy writer.
There is also the possibility that everything that occurred after that missed date is all dream-time.
An even worse cheat, especially since that notion is postulated yet never resolved.
I am trying to be careful here, trying not to spoil a muddled yarn.
The denouement dovetails to that missed rendezvous again with yet another potential outcome!
Enough to give arthouse films a bad name.
