Les amants naufragés (2010) (TV movie)

Based on the novel Les veufs (The Widowers), by Boileau-Narcejac, first edition 1970.

Stanislas is a young writer who does dubbing jobs to make a living. He anonymously submits his novel to a literary contest. Stanislas is in a relationship with Mathilde, a model and struggling actress, and both suffer because of his constant jealousy. He suspects she is having an affair with her employer, a fashion designer.

The plot is ingenious, and the film is competently written and directed. Not bad for a TV movie.

Rating: 51
