Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 11:27AM A l'aventure is a sensuous, thought-provoking French film. The movie begins on a
park bench. Sandrine (Carole Brana) sits on this bench talking to her friend Sophie (Lise Bellynck) about her dissatisfaction with life, in general, and especially her sex life with her boyfriend. During this conversation an older man (Étienne Chicot) joins them and makes wise reflections. From this conversation the movie develops. Sandrine ultimately decides to change her life. She quits her job and cheats on her boyfriend with a guy, Greg (Arnaud Binard), who she picks up in a cafe.
Greg is studying to be a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis to help his patients. He introduces Sandrine to several women and she also meets an architect and decorator, Jérome (Frédéric Aspisi), who's into heightening women's orgasms by playing their S/M master. Eventually Greg uses hypnosis to take Sandrine and two other ladies on a risky ecstatic trip. All the while Sandrine keeps meeting the older man on the bench, and eventually at his cabin out in the country. He is a taxi driver but also studied meditation in India and taught physics. He outlines the rough history of the cosmos to Sandrine and gives a simplified explanation of relativity.

Without saying more you can see the complexities of this thinking-person's sensual movie. If you are open-minded, intelligent, and nonpuritanical, then you will enjoy this movie. I recommend this film.
