''Unforgivable'' ((フランス語:Impardonnables)) is a 2011 French drama film directed by André Téchiné, starring André Dussollier, Carole Bouquet, and Mélanie Thierry. The film is an adaptation of Philippe Djian's novel ''Unforgivable'' which received the Jean Freustié award in 2009. It was previously called ''The Angels Terminus''. The film premiered at the Directors' Fortnight at the 2011 Cannes film festival. == Plot == Francis, an aging successful writer of crime novels, arrives in Venice where he plans to rent out an apartment to live in peace and quiet for the next year while writing a new novel. Through his search he meets Judith, a real estate agent, who insists on showing him a house accessible only by boat on the island of Sant'Erasmo. Francis is smitten with Judith, a beautiful ex-model about 20 years his junior, and acquiesces to rent the property if she moves with him. Eighteen months later, Francis and Judith are blissfully married and living together in Sant'Erasmo. However happiness is not conducive for him to write. Suffering from writer's block, he roams the streets and canals of Venice in search of inspiration. Alice, his adult daughter from a previous marriage, comes to visit towing along her ten-year-old daughter, Vicky. Alice, no longer with the father of his daughter, is an aimless aspiring actress. She goes swimming with Judith, takes a few strokes in the opposite direction and disappears without explanation. Vicky, abandoned by Alice, is picked up by Roger, her father. Alarmed, Francis hires Anna Maria, a vodka-swilling private detective, who many years ago had a lesbian relationship with Judith. Alice is found to be having a passionate love affair with Alvise, a penniless aristocrat and small-time heroin dealer. Months pass and Francis is still suffering from writer’s block. His relationship with Judith is severely strained as she is distracted by her work demands of the peak season. He becomes jealous and begins to question Judith’s fidelity. Before they met, she had many affairs with people from both sexes. Francis decides to have her followed by Jérémie, Anna Maria's son, a troubled young man who has just been released from prison. This transgression causes Judith to actually have an affair with the young man when she realizes what is happening. As the relationship with her husband deteriorates, Judith decides to leave Sant'Erasmo and moves back to Venice. Francis accepts the situation with trepidation. During the autumn, Jérémie is attacked by a gay man who kills his beloved dog as retaliation. Jérémie had previously thrown his attacker into a canal. Francis harshly criticized Jérémie for his behaviour. Shortly after Jérémie slashes his wrist in a suicide attempt, but he is saved by Francis. Anna Maria returns from Paris with news about Alice who sent her father a disturbing video of herself having sex with Alvise. Anna Maria has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. In the winter Alice returns to Venice, as Alvise is now in prison in the city. She is welcomed by Judith, and Francis and Alice make amends. She asks her father for forgiveness but is adamant in her love for Alvise and tells Francis that her daughter is better off with her ex-husband. At Anna Maria's funeral, Jérémie is repeatedly hit by Francis who is furious about his lack of feelings towards Anna Maria. The two men reconcile when Jérémie, leaving Venice to find a new life, comes to say goodbye to Francis. He is young, he says, and at least time is on his side. Francis finally manages to complete his novel. He has no more reasons to stay in Venice. He runs to see Judith and he asks her to move to Paris with him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unforgivable (2011 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
