A Girl Cut in Two

The charm of A Girl Cut in Two comes partially from the mesmerizing lovers themselves, in this case a triangle played by Ludivine Sagnier, Benoît Magimel, and François Berléand. But it’s director Claude Chabrol who truly captivates: His fluid camera and less-is-more storytelling is thrillingly Hitchcockian, and his lack of judgment regarding the sexuality of his characters is refreshingly French. Sagnier, best known as the vixen in 2003’s Swimming Pool, plays Gabrielle Deneige, a Lyons weathergirl whose golden loveliness helps put her TV career on a fast track. It also enchants two suitors: Charles (Berléand), a reclusive, renowned, and married author 30 years her senior, and Paul (Magimel), the wealthy, entitled brat born to a late pharmaceutical tycoon who’s more age-appropriate but insufferable and possibly unstable. Gabrielle allows both to court her, often more interested in jumping at either man’s summons than attending to work duties. A Girl Cut in Two is a bit schizophrenic in tone as it turns into a murder thriller in its last chapter, harking back to an opening sequence bathed in red. But in between, it’s all high living, rivalry, and romance as Gabrielle professes her love for Charles, who toys with her, which prompts Gabrielle to toy with Paul, who also announces his love after one date and threatens to not give up until she’s his.
