La Vie après l'amour (2000) **

Directed by Gabriel Pelletier. With Michel Côté, Patrick Huard, Yves Jacques and Sylvie Léonard. A poor, gentle sap (Côté) goes to pieces after his beloved wife (Léonard) mercilessly dumps him after 20 years of marriage without as much as a word of explanation. It’s supposed to be a comedy, and it might even seem quite hilarious to some (unbelievably cruel) women, but there isn’t much to laugh about here: it’s a devastating chronicle of women’s inhumanity to men.
