Gabrielle, played by Marion Cotillard, wants to fall in love. She wants to love and be loved so strongly, that she does goofy stuff and her parents are worried. Her mother is smart enough to marry her with an inferior (economically) but decent and hard-working man. Gabrielle objects the wedding but there is nothing she can do. So the point is: Is there something wrong with Gabrielle's mind? Does she leave in the actual world or is she leaving in a world of her own where fantastic lovers approach her and make love to her? She is lucky her mother was right about the man she choose to marry her. He stands by her and helps her recover from the fantasies that torment her. Marion Cotillard is a wonderful actress and she manages to portray brilliantly the persona of a semi-mad woman. OK, it's a bit slow and depressing but the twist at the end, makes it a worth watching film. So that's a 6 plus 1 extra point for Marion...
