Summary of Alice et Martin
In this meditation on family, romance, and the search for contentedness from French director Andre Techine (THE WILD REEDS, MY FAVORITE SEASON), a troubled young man named Martin (Alexis Loret), rethinks his past. At age 20, Martin finds himself living with his bohemian brother Benjamin (Matthieu Amalric) in Paris, after fleeing from their father's house for an unexplainable reason. Benjamin's violinist roommate, Alice (Juliette Binoche) responds to Martin, who falls obsessively in love with her. Alice quickly becomes pregnant. Though Martin has a profitable modeling job, and is very close with Alice--who will do anything to help him--he cannot stop worrying about his past, and is tortured by it in his dreams at night.
