Post Coitum

DIRECTED BY: Brigitte Roüan

REVIEWED: 06-22-98

Ah, no one makes love stories like the French! Director Brigitte Roüan also stars in this sexy, bittersweet story about the love affair between an older woman and a younger man. Borris Terral plays the extremely hunky Emilio, an idealistic youth who begins a passionate affair with the married Diane. Emilio is a shameless romantic, shining all his charm on his successful lover, who promptly jeopardizes her family and her job to better fling herself into the affair. But just when Diane starts to really like Emilio, he dumps her with no explanation. The grieving scenes begin to become a bit elaborate, but Roüan has a light touch that helps keep things from getting too heavy-handed. Ever notice how much hotter the love scenes are when a woman is directing?
