Frédéric has a successful happy life. His wife Hélène is expecting their second baby. He starts to fantasize about the female species whether it's the beauty on the train, the salesgirl, his secretaries, his nanny, or any of the beautiful women he encounters. One day, Chloé returns into his life from his past. She's struggling and he helps her out. They spend afternoons together as flirtations grow.
This is a fine French film about a very french subject. I don't like the Chris Rock reimagining. It's too dark although the premise holds some interest. For some reason, it's not quite so dark in French. There is the great fantasy montage that is slightly funny. That scene really sold me on this movie. It sold me on the characters and the sense of their journey. Originally, it was renamed Chloe in the Afternoon during its initial American run.
