Cinq fois Deux

Roughly translated means 80 slow damn minutes!

I love a movie that makes me think, but a movie that leaves so much unanswered that I feel confused as to the whole damn point...well that's just not cool. Why did the husband rape his newly divorced wife? Where'd that anger come from? Why did he sit in a cafe eating lunch while his wife was in labour? Why did he show up at the hospital only to leave five minutes later without seeing his wife? Why did she have sex with a stranger on their wedding night? WHY? WHY? WHY DIDN'T I LEAVE FOR GODSAKE?

Great premise though...Begins with the divorce of a couple and takes you through a total of five periods of their life together, ending with them meeting for the first time. Just too bad that there was ZERO character development.
