Nathalie...
Aka "Nathalie X". A psychological drama from the writer of "A Pornographic Affair" in which a middle-aged woman fears that her husband is cheating on her - and chooses a very unlikely method for verifying her paranoia. Catharine (Fanny Ardant) is a successful Parisian gynecologist whose long-term marriage to Bernard (Gerard Depardieu) has been passionless as of late. When she checks his cell phone messages one afternoon, she discovers a suggestive "thank you" from a young colleague of his, which creates an even wider chasm between the two. Desperate, Catharine goes to an upscale strip club nearby to solicit the services of Nathalie (Emmanuelle Beart), a matter-of-fact prostitute. It seems Catharine wants Nathalie to seduce Bernard and report back to her each week, an assignment that's initially off-putting to the young woman, but one she begins to relish as the weeks pass. Soon, Nathalie is using intimate details to fuel Catharine's rage toward her husband.
