One murdered man, eight women, each seeming to be eager than the others to know the truth. Gimme, gimme, gimme some clues to make up my mind. And eventually enter the truth. Oh, thou cruel woman!
Nathalie teaches philosophy at a high school in Paris. She is passionate about her job and particularly enjoys passing on the pleasure of thinking. Married with two children, she divides her time between her family, former students and her very possessive mother. One day, Nathalie's husband announces he is leaving her for another woman. With freedom thrust upon her, Nathalie must reinvent her life.
Shortly before Nathalie goes to watch a movie there is a shot of Constance Rousseau who played the lead role in Mia Hansen-Løve's debut film. Hansen-Løve said she originally intended the shot to be of Félix de Givry who starred in her previous film, but she thought it would be too distracting to include him. See more »
Goofs
Nathalie is shown walking through the mud flats exposed along the beach at low tide. As she walks, she is clearly following footprints. Since the mud was previously underwater, the footprints must be from a previous take of Isabelle Huppert walking along the same path. See more »
Quotes
Nathalie Chazeaux:
Julie is recalling her former passion, unrequited with SaintPreux . She had hope to know true bliss with him and this hope made her happy, Julie can then be happy substituting dream for reality.

It would be wrong to say there's not a great deal that happens in Mia Love-Hansen's film 'Things to Come': we see births, deaths and marriages (fall apart), as well as the extended tale of an unwanted cat. But it's all presented as the proceeding of normal life, and convincingly so; things happen and lives undergo incremental, and incidental change: this isn't a tightly wound narrative with a driven sequence of events. It may sound boring, but it never is, thanks mostly to a very good performance from the always interesting Isabelle Huppert, playing a woman facing what she never allows herself to portray as a stereotypical description of a mid-life crisis, even though it features some common elements. Ultimately, this is a small movie, but it's both very specific (Huppert's character is a philosophy teacher and moves in a particular mileau) and yet true to life more generally. Highly recommended.
