Ça reste entre nous (1998)
Directed by Martin Lamotte

Comedy
aka: Just Between Us

Film Synopsis

Patrick is a happily married man.  The reason for his happiness is that, as well as an adoring wife, Hélène, he also has an equally adoring mistress, Elisabeth.  Naturally, leading a double life of this kind requires some energy and organisational ability, but fortunately Patrick has both of these in abundance.  Hélène is the mother of his two sons, Elisabeth is the mother of his daughter, so Patrick feels it only right that they should each get their fair share of him.  Needless to say, neither woman knows what Patrick is up to.  To them, he is the devoted partner and ideal father.  Of course, it is all too good to last...  On the very day that Hélène has arranged something special for their wedding anniversary Elisabeth wants Patrick to attend a neighbour's engagement party.  There are not many people that can be in two places at the same time, but this is what Patrick must somehow manage if he is to prevent his two-timing chicanery from being discovered...

The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The very best American film comedies
sb-img-18
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
The best of American film noir
sb-img-9
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
The very best French thrillers
sb-img-12
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
