Rating:
Based on the 1997 National Book Award-nominated novel of the same name by Diane_Johnson (co-writer of the script for Stanley_Kubrick's The_Shining), Le Divorce is a romantic comedy from director James_Ivory. Revisiting the "Americans in France" theme that Ivory explored in 1998's A_Soldier's_Daughter_Never_Cries, the film stars Kate_Hudson as Isabel Walker. When she receives word that her pregnant poetess sister Roxy (Naomi_Watts) has been left by her philandering French husband, artist Charles-Henri de Persand (Melvil_Poupaud), Isabel offers her help and moral support. As the depressive Roxy struggles with the separation proceedings -- which include the rights to ownership of a work of art that's a family heirloom -- Isabel takes a job with author Olivia Pace and has a fling with the bohemian Yves (Romain Duris). But things get complicated when the younger, more impudent sister decides instead to pursue Charles' uncle, the snooty, married diplomat Edgar (Thierry Lhermitte), and when a mysterious man (Matthew_Modine) starts stalking Roxy. Eventually, the rest of the plucky Walker clan has to come to the aid of the siblings. Stockard_Channing and Sam_Waterston co-star. Matthew Tobey, Rovi
