In acclaimed and revered director Fran?ois Ozon's (8 Women, Swimming Pool) new film we witness five key scenes in the life of a Parisian couple played in reverse order. We begin with their divorce and move backwards taking in an uneasy dinner party, childbirth, their wedding day, and finally, how they first met. 5x2 is a brutal, and yet, honest subversion of the archetypal love story which comments that if you want a happy ending you have to start at the end and work your way towards the beginning. Ozon creates a thoughtful and adult mediation on the deterioration of love, culminating in a scene which is at first romantic, yet ultimately tragic.
