 New Wave legend Claude Chabrol helms this black comedy starring Ludivine Sagnier. In "A Girl Cut in Two, the blonde beauty plays a weathergirl caught between an older author (François Berléand) and a rich, younger man (Chabrol alum Benoit Magimel).
A television weatherwoman is pursued simultaneously by a spoiled pharmaceutical heir and a successful -- but much older -- writer in director Claude Chabrol's blackly comic tale of romance and class differences. Gabrielle Deniege (Ludivine Sagnier) has a high profile job detailing the forecast on French TV. Yet despite Gabrielle's staunch work ethic, she values her privacy over her professional career and lives in a modest house with her aging mother (Marie Bunel).
One day, renowned author Charles Saint-Denis (Francois Berleand) is interviewed at the television station where Gabrielle works, and the two feel an instant, powerful connection. Later, at a book signing, the pair continues to flirt despite the presence of entitled rich kid Paul Gaudens (Benoit Magimel) -- who openly despises the writer and longs to claim Gabrielle as his own.
Despite the fact that Charles is still happily married to his wife of twenty-five years (Valeria Cavalli), with whom he has set up home in a posh ultra-modern estate in the countryside, he and Gabrielle share an intimate afternoon at the author's nearby pied-a-terre. Later, as the potentially psychotic Paul steps up his pursuit of Gabrielle, the girl begins to question whether either of her suitors is pure in his intentions.
