Wild Grass (2009)

Sony Pictures Classics
Directed by Alain Resnais
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Starz)

A middle aged man finds a wallet in a parking garage, falls in love with its owner and stalks her. At first, the woman wants nothing to do with him and has the police ask him to stop bothering her. Later, she changes her mind, but by that time he rejects her instead. So, their little game continues, eventually involving his wife and her best friend. Resnais makes a few obvious statements about chance, but the characters are unlikeable, there is too much narration and it really boils down to nothing but a middle age crises which we've seen done better elsewhere.
