Storia
Martin, a middle-aged philosophy teacher, feels restless and dissatisfied with his life. He becomes intrigued by Cecilia, a young woman suspected of driving an artist to his death due to her intense sexual appetite. Despite finding her irritating, Martin initiates an affair with Cecilia, which remains purely erotic as they share no intellectual connection. As their relationship progresses, Martin becomes increasingly obsessed with possessing Cecilia, leading him down a path of violent jealousy.
Riassunto
Directed by Cédric Kahn in 1998, 'L'ennui' is a French-Portuguese drama and romance film that is a respectable adaptation of Alberto Moravia's controversial novel. The story revolves around Martin, a philosophy teacher grappling with his mid-life crisis, who becomes involved with Cecilia, a young woman suspected of causing an artist's death through her intense sexual desires. Kahn displays maturity as a director in exploring the themes of obsession and violent jealousy that develop between the two characters.
