A Girl Cut in Two

A Girl Cut in Two (French: La Fille coupée en deux) is a 2007 black comedy film co-written and directed by Claude Chabrol, starring Ludivine Sagnier, Benoît Magimel and François Berléand.

It tells the story of a naïve and affectionate girl who has disastrous relationships with two rich and influential men.

Gabrielle, a pretty but innocent young woman, lives with her mother in Lyon and works as a weather presenter for the local TV station.

The other is Charles, a nationally known writer more than twice her age whose wife stays in their country house while he uses a flat in town.

There, he takes Gabrielle and teaches her the sexual arts, expanding them by visits to an exclusive sex club.
