Wild Grass

Alain Resnais directs this adaptation of a novel by Christian Gailly.

After dentist Marguerite Muir (Sabine Azema) has her handbag stolen, her wallet is found by the troubled Georges (Andre Dussollier), whose mid-life crisis is causing him to behave erratically and rendering him unable to perform even the most straightforward tasks.

As Georges deliberates at length over what to do with the wallet, and Marguerite becomes increasingly curious about the identity of its finder, the two become drawn into an elaborate series of encounters which may or may not blossom into a romance.

Emmanuelle Devos, Anne Consigny and Mathieu Amalric co-star.
