Description
Set in Paris, LE DIVORCE is an alluring and elegant comedy of love and divorce French-style.
Isabel Walker, a young, not-so-innocent, American abroad, arrives in Paris to find that her sister's French husband ('the frog prince') has just walked out.
While Isabel embarks on her own sentimental education - seduced by gourmet food, antiques, existentialism and an older man - her sister's marriage disintergrates into bitter Franco-American wrangles over money, titles and a mysterious painting.
With a sharp tongue and an ironic eye for the foibles of the Parisian bourgeoisie, the French art world and American ex-patriots, Isabel is a collector of experience, even those she can't control.
Comedy veers suddenly close to tragedy as passionate jealousy, self-interest and artistic intrigue interweave.
