...Coeur En Hiver" is an indefatigably French movie, filled with minute conversation, coolly beautiful women, pensive silences and an impassioned polemic on the death of high art.

The cat-and-mouse interplay of hunter and haunted had Trish, 26, scraping the polish off her fingernails. Craig, 12, appreciated the cinematic ingenuity of the mise en scene. And everybody loved the train wreck. The whole family had a good time at the movies. Maybe they'll all do it again real soon...
