The Deserter's Wife (French: La femme du déserteur) is a 1991 French-Israeli co-production dramatic independent underground art film directed by Michal Bat-Adam.

[1] Nina (Fanny Ardant), a French concert pianist, meets Ilan (Sharon Alexander [he]), an Israeli computer specialist who is on vacation, in Paris.

When Nina's concert debut with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is about to take place, symbolically, on the day of the United Nations' ultimatum to Saddam Hussein, the social pressure grows immeasurably.

However, they worked together again and again, as with La Femme du déserteur, as well as in 2008, on the comedy Hello Goodbye, which Conversi produced, while Ardant played alongside Gérard Depardieu.

Critic Lisa Alspector opined that "[t]his 1991 melodrama creates only generic sympathy for the disgraced, misunderstood husband, and none at all for the smarmy, selfish wife, whose motives are ambiguous throughout.
