Twenty-nine-year-old Paul is a reluctant teacher, aspiring doctoral candidate and would-be archaeologist living a half-life. Living with a cousin and romantically attached to Esther for a decade, Paul finally reaches a breaking point when he finds himself falling in love with his best friend’s fiancée. This is just the beginning of Paul’s dilemma. Deeply nuanced and epic in its examination of the characters, Arnaud Desplechin’s My Sex Life… is a warm and judgment-free series of moments about contemporary romance that adds up to a resonant and fulfilling whole, and one that transcends just sex.
