Synopsis

The rise and fall of one couple's marriage goes under the microscope in this drama from French filmmaker Franois Ozon. Gilles (Stephane Freis) and Marion (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) have filed for divorce following several years of marriage, and after the judge declares their union is over, the film follows the couple through five lengthy flashbacks, presented in reverse chronological order, in which glimpses of their lives together are shown, ending with the couple meeting for the first time. As the film follows the peaks and valleys of Gilles and Marion's relationship, viewers witness a few of the many small events that make up a marriage. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

2.0 out of 5 stars The disolution of a marriage..., Jan 9 2007

By	M. B. Alcat "Curiosity killed the cat, but sa... (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

"5 x 2" tells the story of a couple, in a non-traditional way. It is original, but all the same I hated it, and I don't say that lightly. The fact is, this movie had a lot of potential, but wasn't able to fulfill it, at least in my opinion...

I believe that the idea of French director Franois Ozon was to show the disolution of a marriage, in an inverse process that starts at the end (a divorce) and goes backwards to the beginnings of the couple (how they met, their wedding, etc...).

It is somehow surprising to notice that both Marion (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) and Gilles (Stphane Freiss) really had something nice going on at the beginning of their relationship, but even then we can notice some minor problems that could presagiate a bad ending (or in the case of "5 x 2" the beginning). The actors that played the couple were really good, and conveyed extremely well the emotional damage that Marion and Gilles did to each other. The spectator is likely to feel like an involuntary witness to a car crash: something bad is happening, it is painful to watch and you don't want to do so, but you cannot take your eyes from the scene.

All in all, I recommend you to avoid this movie. My reason is simple. Yes, the cast was good and the director has made some excellent movies in the past, but "5 x 2" just doesn't deliver the story it was supposed to. Of course, it is original, but that is not enough.
