La Fidélité (2000)
Directed by Andrzej Zulawski

Drama
aka: Fidelity

Film Synopsis

Clélia is a talented young photographer who becomes the latest acquisition of Lucien Macroi, a Canadian media magnate whose muck-raking tabloids have brought him considerable wealth and influence.  Macroi is counting on Clélia to help improve his corporate image, and for this he is willing to pay her handsomely.  One day, Clélia runs into a 30-something book publisher, Clève, who falls in love with her the moment he sees her.  Compared with the people she has to deal with in her day job, Clélia finds Clève refreshingly direct and honest, and it isn't long after their first encounter that she is accepting his marriage proposal.  Her love life takes a complicated turn when she gets to meet another photographer named Nemo, who veers towards the more brazenly sensational side of grub street journalism.  As Nemo subjects Clélia to his lethal powers of seduction, the young woman's harmonious relationship with Clève suddenly comes under threat.  Infidelity is not something that the clean-living publisher can forgive...
