Seventh Heaven

French writer and director Benoît Jacquot's domestic drama examines a couple's marriage from each point of view. After a married woman on the verge of psychological breakdown finds treatment through hypnosis, it leads to her personal and behavioral changes which threatens her marriage when her husband is not pleased with the changes. Jacquot takes a marriage as the battlefield between the sexes where each sex prefers their partners differently. While the wife is clearly showing signs of her troubled psyche, the husband seems to be happy with her. However when she awakens and takes charge of her life, the husband feels threatened and becomes aggressive. Sandrine Kiberlain and Vincent Lindon star with solid performances. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
