Film Review: “Peindre Ou Faire L’amour (To Paint Or Make Love)”

Posted on September 27, 2011

Written by: Victoria Alexander

It starts out with the blissfully married middle-aged couple, William (Daniel Auteuil) and Madeleine (Sabine Azéma). They are a highly romantic couple, in love and faithful to each other. They live a quiet, affluent life in Paris. Their daughter has moved to Rome where she is studying architecture at a prestigious school.



Madeleine is a painter and during one of her walks in the surrounding hills, she sets up her easel in front of an old house and meets Adam (Sergi Lopez), a man who is refined, well read, blind, and the town’s wealthy mayor. He shows Madeline around the house she is painting, which is for sale. After Madeleine brings William to see the house and they spend a lustful afternoon viewing the house, they decide to buy it.



The house is breathtakingly isolated in its rural charm. Soon they are entertaining Adam and his young pretty wife Eva (Amira Casar). Eva worships her older husband. There is clearly an erotic charge ignited. Adam and Eva live only a few hundred yards away. When their house burns to the ground, William and Madeleine want nothing more than to take them in. They insist and become obsessed with the couple.



Adam is nothing to look at but he’s got a way with words. He’s a mayor and a poet. The French love wordsmiths. William is sporting a slight belly. These are real people. When Eva undresses for her portrait, she has a youthful, but not a model’s, body. Eva tells a surprised, slightly embarrassed Madeleine why she got naked for her portrait, “No one has seen me for a long time.”



I’m not going to spoil the twists this film makes, but will only say it is compelling and peculiar. You have to know the French to understand it.
