Glasgow Film Festival Three Hearts

Three hearts rarely beat as one in this handsome, intricately plotted melodrama, played to perfection by some of France’s best actors. Tax inspector Marc (Benoît Poelvoorde) misses the last train home to Paris. Stranded in a small provincial town, he meets Sylvie (Charlotte Gainsbourg). They chat the night away (shades of Before Sunrise) and believe they have begun a fine romance. Fate has other plans. Later, Marc meets antique dealer Sophie (Chiara Mastroianni) and love blooms. On the eve of their marriage Marc discovers what we have known all along, that Sylvie and Sophie are sisters. A civilised delight co-starring the great Catherine Deneuve.
