    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Many critics were startled by the sex scenes in this movie, which featured mature bodies and looked very real. "I can assure you straight away they were not real," says Kristin Scott Thomas, coolly, although she says such scenes "can be empowering, because you feel like you're brave enough to do it and everyone else around you isn't. It's like jumping off a cliff."

    All in the breath
    Kristen Scott Thomas is excellent in 'Leaving', a traumatic but excellent film about the break up of a relationship. Much is acutely observed here: the casually indifferent husband who becomes a monster when crossed; the affair, depicted without moral judgement, that attains unexpected emotional significance because of the previously hidden fault-lines it exposes; the sex scenes, unusually effective, in which much is conveyed through the pattern of breath. Plus there's a luscious (but sensitive) soundtrack, and Scott Thomas's brilliant performance as a woman gradually losing her grip on first happiness, and then sanity. The ending is subtly different to the one first suggested: that it is a happier one is unclear in a dark tale.
