Intimate Strangers
A beautiful Parisian woman opens the wrong door and steps into a dizzying psychological mystery that will forever change two lives in celebrated French filmmakerPatrice Leconte's INTIMATE STRANGERS ("Confidences Trop Intimes"). Leconte's 20th feature film - the follow-up to his acclaimed MAN ON THE TRAIN -- is a provocative love story masked in the guise of a suspense thriller.
At the 2004 Berlin Film Festival, Leconte made an astonishing announcement during his press conference: he noted that he had just made what might well be his final tale about love and intimate affairs. With INTIMATE STRANGERS, Leconte reveals his ultimate take on the mysteries of male-female relationships and deals his own spirited coup de grace to the love story. For INTIMATE STRANGERS is certainly not a typical romance, but a labyrinthine trip into the very nature of longing and desire. With nods to both Hitchcockian suspense and Golden Hollywood melodrama, yet rife with his own trademark wit on the subject of how opposites compel and complete one another, Leconte creates a tale that turns the familiar stuff of modern relationships - lust, fear, obsession, secrets, misunderstanding, transformation - into a playful thriller.
 "Shines thanks to splendid visual execution and sterling perfs from leads Sandrine Bonnaire and Fabrice Luchini."
