The separation) is a 1994 French romantic drama film directed by Christian Vincent and based on the novel La Séparation by Dan Franck.

Both seem determined to remain composed and deal with Anne's love interest and Pierre's hurt pride rationally.

Fights break out, most bitterly after Pierre discovers that Anne has taken their son to her mother's house.

Digesting this news with the same outward calm as at the beginning of the film, Pierre walks Anne back to their flat.

The film received two César Award nominations for Best Actor (Daniel Auteuil) and Best Actress (Isabelle Huppert) in 1995 (the year of its UK release).
