Despite Gabrielle's staunch work ethic however, she values her privacy over her professional career and lives in a modest house with her ageing mother (Marie Bunel). One day, renowned author Charles Saint-Denis (Francois Berleand) is interviewed at the television station where Gabrielle works, and the two feel an instant, powerful connection. Later, at a book signing, the pair continue to flirt despite the presence of a spoiled, ultra-rich, pharmaceutical heir, Paul Gaudens (Benoit Magimel) who openly despises the writer and longs to claim Gabrielle as his own. An unspoken past between the two men increases the tension and their constant demands in their respective relationships with Gabrielle cloud matters leaving her confused. Despite the fact that Charles is still happily married to his wife of twenty-five years (Valeria Cavalli), with whom he shares a home in a posh ultra-modern estate in the countryside, he and Gabrielle share an intimate afternoon at the author's nearby pied-a-terre. Later, as the potentially psychotic Paul steps up his pursuit of Gabrielle, the young woman begins to question the purity of intention of either of her suitors. Claude Chabrol returns with the razor-sharp, darkly seductive, A GIRL CUT IN TWO, as the demands on an emotionally confused Gabrielle destabilise her ultimately leading to a shocking clash of violence and passion… A GIRL CUT IN TWO was inspired by the sensational Gilded Age murder of Madison Square Garden architect Stanford White and written by Claude Chabrol and Cécile Maistre. |
