Last Night (review): how Guillaume Canet stole my heart

I can finally prove you guys that this blog isn't a sheer fashion blog! It's about everything that inspires me or anything I like. So today's post will be about 'Last Night', an electrifying drama/ romance that is directed and written by Massy Tadjedin. The best is yet to come: both Keira Knightly and Guillaume Camet are starring in this movie. I know Guillaume from 'Jeux d'Enfants', a romantic French movie in which he was starring with an other beauty, Marion Cotillard. He was playing the naughty, sensitive yet charming guy and he stole my heart back then! He has this French je m'en fou thing going on and I think that is why he's so enchanting. He's cute but not in the corny Hollywood way. He looks quite messy in this movie and I think this look suits him very well. But let's talk about the plot. The story is about Michael (Sam Worthington) and Joanna (a marvelous play by the gorgeous Keira Knightley), they're a married couple and although they still haven't reached the seven year itch, something is quite wrong in their relationship/ marriage. Joanna is suspicious when it comes to her husband's faithfulness. And how can she not be? Her husband has a very sexy colleague, Laura (a very seductive Eva Mendes) at work. They go on business trips together and Joanna accuses her husband of having a relationship with Laura. He denies of course. What about Joanna though? She meets her ex lover again when her husband has left town for another business trip. They hang out together. Is the passion still there and will she cheat on Micheal and is Michael really cheating on her? Well, you have to see the movie first. However this movie is about a current topic, it does not give an answer to the 'Is emotional cheating on someone worse than having sexual intercourse with him/her?' question. No, it makes you think and has you under its spell. The tempo isn't super fast but Guillaume an Knightley make you want to watch this movie. Knightley is ever so elegant and witty in this picture, so I'd say a must-see!

Alex, played by Guillaume Canet, and Joanna, are two ex lovers.

 The pretty Joanna is already married to Michael though.

Last but not least: Don't go like 'oh, it's a cliché he cheated on me, I cheated on him movie' because it's not. Tadjedin proves how complex this topic can be and it's not the typical superficial Hollywood glamour movie. So go and see it for yourself!
