L'histoire de ma femme

Why do characters need to smoke so much? I get sick of it. These are the details that take away the pleasure of seeing something.

I liked it a lot, despite being so long. I thought the main actor was excellent, I didn't know him.

This movie is not for everyone, but for those who can see poetry in images. Only Lea herself is already enough to see it, such a mysterious woman, on which most of people can't understand. The actor who plays the captain is good enough to lead the movie all by himself in 3 hours.

The photography, cities and the period completes the perfect environment.

... would really have been interesting to watch this film as it should have been made in foreign language(s)... watching it now is like viewing a production having been perfectly dubbed, something is missing-lacking... actors making movies in second or third languages will do nothing but take away from a film's experience... sure there's a bit of adjustment having to read subtitles... yet the 'feel' of the movie makes it all-more-worthwhile

... interesting premise.. he's obliviously being unfaithful all the while upset, fully believing she's not being honest with him regarding her fidelity... any-all women of the day could never have close male friends, especially married-women... viewer ratings for this film would overall surely have gone up were it not for the fact of it being 169 minutes long.

A loyal captain wonders if he made the right decision.

It's a story about the impermanence of relationships, temptation and betrayal, being punished for taking things for granted, depression, living in the present. Both actors were well cast.

Great story, great acting, amazing cinematography and production design, for a wonderful and unique script that pulls on the heartstrings of everyone who has known love, strife and loss, and who is able to notice a great piece of art when they see it.

This is an amazing tale, one that might be criticised for being too far-fetched, but nevertheless is very close to the real lives of many people. Granted: this is not for everyone. Not everyone will appreciate the trials and tribulations of this captain, or the tribulations and restlessness of the young, wild, curious and intelligent wife... but I assure you all that this is what art is made of: past experience combined with grief and imagination, congealed in a (art) piece with the aid of top craftsmanship from all the participants in the production of this move.

An amazing cast, delivering an amazing performance, enhanced by top-notch work from all other parties involved. This is now one of my favorite movies of all time.

Special credit has to be handed to Lèa Seydoux, who is absolutely brilliant in her flawless performance.

She is not only a ravishing beauty: she has always proved to be an amazing actress, even in the most barren roles in the most mind-numbing action movies (e.g., 007) and in this one she shows the ability to delivery a performance that is finely-grained with all the nuance of this very complex character.
