Loulou
DramaRomance110 min
A young woman trapped in a stale bourgeois marriage begins an affair with Loulou, a drifting, rough-edged man who lives far outside the ordered world she knows. What starts as an escape from her husband pulls her into a different life, shaped by idleness, jealousy, and the demands of people who never fit her old rules. As she tries to build a future with Loulou, the gap between desire and daily reality keeps widening. Isabelle Huppert and Gérard Depardieu anchor a relationship where class, sex, and dependence are tangled together, and every choice pushes the couple further from stability.
