<br>by David Ng</font>
<P><i><font size="6" color="#FF0000"><b>A</b></font>lice et Martin</i> traces the lives of two fiercely independent people who cross paths one day and discover that they can’t live without each other. Director André Téchiné chronicles their romance in abrupt fits, omitting crucial events and returning to them later, so that Martin’s life grows increasingly tangled with Alice’s. (The movie’s first shot is of a mosaic comprised of two basic shapes, the one interlacing the other in an endless pattern.) As we learn more about them, we begin to wonder if they are perhaps two halves of the same person.
