Une rencontre (2014, Lisa Azuelos)

A story that didn't start will never end - this is the tag line of this film. Recently too many "romantic comedies" are in my backlog - or are they just chick flicks? This is not exactly my type of feel good film.
A family father meets an attractive writer at a book fair. He thinks that he is happily married, but actually he has better relations to his children than to his wife. She is approaching MILF-age, so young and beautiful are around her like moiths around the light. But she also falls for the family father. There is only one but - "married men have no dick". Meaning - she does not want to be a mistress and she respects the instution of marriage for the sake of the wife. So they hug and don't exchange phone numbers. So they meet by chance and that is it. The film plays with conventions - just to confirm them.
I saw this film before and forgot about it - maybe these notes will help me to remember it, if I encounter it another time.
4/10
