Things to Come

Things to ComeIsabelle Huppert is great in this movie, with her blunt dialogue, but you have to like essentially plotless French films.  Fortunately, I love them.  It starts off as her husband of many years announce he is moving in with another woman.  They are both philosophy teachers, with a great love of books.

The film meanders through other events.  The most interesting is her visits to a former student and protegé in the countryside, where he is hanging out with a group of anarchists.  But it is not a romantic liaison, just a visit.  Just as it would be.  And life goes on.
