Let the sunshine in

In Claire Denis' drama, Isabelle (Juliette Binoche) tries to find meaning in her life through relationships and sex. Isabelle (Juliette Binoche) lives alone in Paris and is searching for human connection. At least, she believes that is what she is searching for, because she is not entirely sure, while her passion is repeatedly rekindled in the arms of a wide variety of men. But are sex and partnerships really the key to a fulfilling existence for her? A visit to a fortune teller (Gérard Depardieu) is supposed to provide her with clarity.
