A perfect love (Parfait amour!) Is a French feature film by Catherine Breillat from 1996. Behind the ironic title hides the story of two lovers who can neither live together nor separate from each other, and about a close connection between sexual and sexual Death instinct. A newspaper report about a murder case inspired Breillat to write this story, based on which she wanted to show that it is women who rule men.
action
In the framework story, the police re-enact a crime at the crime scene, in a kitchen. Christophe killed his lover Frédérique with 42 knife wounds. The two met at a wedding. She, a wealthy ophthalmologist, was married to a weak man and had two children; he was ten years younger than her, irresponsible and professionally unsuccessful. They quickly fell for each other.
In the relationship between Christophe and Frédérique, however, there were arguments and irreconciliations. He wanted to own her, but she was always rhetorically superior to him. She was dissatisfied with her sex. She hurt him with words, but also with her laughter. One morning she mocked him and accused him of failing to get an erection. When he picked up a knife, she laughed that she wasn't scared. He stabbed her and stuck a broomstick in her anus.
