A gorgeous wife, a beautiful baby son and an apartment in Paris. What more could a man possibly want, especially when he's a humdrum schoolteacher? But then one morning the placid life of Julien (Vincent Lindon) is blown to smithereens. His wife Lisa (Diane Kruger) is arrested for murdering her boss and snatched away from his arms, right there in his own home by a posse of brutal cops.
What does he do? What can anyone do, caught in the gnarly web of an unstoppable nightmare?
Directed by French fashion photographer turned director Fred Cavaye, "Pour Elle (released in Japan as "Subete Kanojyo no Tameni") pursues the dazed, damaged Julien with the insistent persistence of a stalker. The film is Julien's all the way as Lindon gives the finest performance of his career as he transforms from a quiet, bookish everyman to a man possessed by a single motive: to get back life as he knew it, with Lisa safely ensconced at the center of his existence.
