Un Coeur en Hiver ( A Heart in Winter )

Description

Daniel Auteuil (Manon of the Spring) stars as Stephane, the curiously diffident co-owner of an exclusive violin brokerage and repair shop. A brilliant technician, Stephane can make any instrument live up to its promise, yet he himself is emotionally remote and disconnected from passionate experience. His partner, Maxime (André Dussollier), lacks Stephane's gifts but is rich in personality and desire. When Maxime's new lover, a violinist named Camille (Emmanuelle Béart), is drawn to Stephane's still waters, he is briefly moved, thus destroying the fragile, symbiotic relationship between all three individuals."Two Thumbs Up!" – Siskel & Ebert "[it] has the intensity and delicacy of a great short story." – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times"superb haunting...full of unexpected beauty, richness and feeling" – Hal Hinson, Washington PostWINNER – César Award, Best DirectorWINNER – César Award, Best Supporting ActorWINNER – Venice Film Festival, FIPRESCI PrizeWINNER – Venice Film Festival, Silver LionWINNER – London Critics Circle Film Awards, Foreign Language Film of the YearWINNER – European Film Awards, Best ActorWINNER – David di Donatello Award, Best Foreign Actor, Best Foreign ActressWINNER – David di Donatello Award, Best Foreign FilmWINNER – French Syndicate of Cinema Critics, Best Film
