Juliette Binoche plays a divorced artist and single mother who is in an unfulfilling relationship with a married banker. She eventually breaks off with him and begins a series of flings that stop short of blossoming into full-fledged relationships. Even though Isabelle’s carousel of lovers sounds like the setup of a mainstream romantic comedy, Claire Denis moulds this deceptively accessible story into a philosophical discourse on love.
