This is an adaptation of a very popular play in France and despite a slight 'opening out' it remains very much grounded in the proscenium. The premise is simplicity itself. A long-established married couple, Yvan Attal and Sandrine Kiberlain decide, for reasons best known to themselves, that it might be droll to announce to all their friends that they are splitting up, in fact they can hardly wait to register the surprise that this announcement will provoke.
Of course the only surprise is that no one IS surprised and with reactions ranging from, 'so what else is new' to 'what took you so long, we gave you two years at best' the principals begin to think that maybe they ARE in the wrong marriage at that. Slightly dated, not to say old fashioned it's highly watchable but that's about all that can be said for it.
