A lovelorn woman lies in a
Paris hospital as violent
protests rage on the streets. It’s all very symbolic … but is it any good?
The fracture of the title is, ostensibly, the nasty broken arm suffered by ditsy lead character Raf (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi), a comic-book artist in Paris who slips and falls over having had a traumatic and possibly metaphorical breakup with her partner Julie (Marina Foïs). But there is another metaphor level to come.
