Fed up with her present lifestyle, and more particularly sexually dissatisfied with her fiance Fred, Sandrine decides to find a new way in life- intrigued by her friend Françoise, who tells her about her sexual experiments, and when she strikes up a conversation, in a park with stranger who discusses his philosophy of the emotional dead end that traps so many in this day and age. She leaves behind her job and an unfulfilling relationship with her fiance before encountering Greg, a psychiatrist who is an advocate of hypnotic therapy. She allows him to use his techniques to help her tap into the depth of her erotic desires, and when she meets Sophie, Greg's former lover who is willing to share tales of her own sexual explorations, she embarks on an odyssey to embrace the outer limits of her carnal imagination.
Leave your thoughts about À l'aventure.
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanThe tenderness that À L'aventure discovers as it stares into the void might be its most radical gesture of all. |
| HollywoodChicago.comBrian TallericoSome of the philosophical conversations go on a bit too long but it's still an interesting film with some good performances (and some of the most beautiful actresses on the planet). |
| User ReviewGrant SI liked it. A girl wants to experiment with an open-type relationship and goes in way over her had to the point where she ultimately gets hurt and learns a valuable lesson. |
| User ReviewSteve BCertainly my favorite from Brisseau and his best writing in career. This is a beautiful and sexy tale of liberty, eroticism and msticism. There is plenty of light is this movie and can't wait for his next flick. |
| User ReviewChristopher BThe heroine, seeing an opportunity to step away from the rat race, cultivates new friendships. These new friends all share her hunger for deeper, new-age openness in erotic expression; which turns to mysticism. The one thread of sanity is the old man who finds a semblance of enjoyment chatting up women on a park bench. Of course he's a cabbie. This film retains many of the qualities of traditional French films while adding to the modern mythologies of Freudian fetishes and our blind enthrallment to learning only after an experience. To sum up: the script writer, emotionally, is a 20-ish "expert" of the human condition. What can we learn here... ? |
| User ReviewPej Dbored with usual relationship and life patterns, sandrine lets loose to really live life by exploring new desires and find new sparks. yet somehow she's led to contemplate the origins of the universe. easy on the eyes. |
