Add to a movie listUn couple épatant (English: An Amazing Couple; also known as Trilogy: Two) is a 2002 French-Belgian film written and directed by Lucas Belvaux.
This is the second installment of a series Trilogy, which constitutes a comedy preceded by One: On the run, a thriller and followed by Three: After life, a melodrama.
Belvaux referred in the DVD commentary that main idea behind Trilogy is that the main characters in a particular story are the secondary characters of others, in such sense the three films happen at the same time and share a series of common scenes and plot points, complementing each other, but also have their own perspective and style. The audience is left with piecing the films together, which Belvaux avoided, since editing the three films into one single narrative would have resulted in a very long film with no style of its own.
Synopsis

À Hénart, dans le Pas-de-Calais, Pauline Duhez est infirmière libérale. Tous les jours, elle est confrontée à la misère sociale, à la disparition des services publics, tout en jonglant avec une vie personnelle bien remplie : son père, ancien métallurgiste malade de l'amiante dont elle s'occupe, et ses enfants, qu'elle élève seule. Un jour, le docteur Philippe Berthier, médecin fortuné et ancien député européen, lui propose de se présenter aux élections municipales en tête de la liste du Rassemblement national populaire (RNP), un mouvement populiste fondé par Agnès Dorgelle, présidente du Bloc Patriotique, un parti d'extrême-droite. Réticente, Pauline se laisse séduire par le discours de la présidente du RNP, à la fibre sociale et en appelant au peuple, du docteur Berthier, qui évoque la notoriété et l'empathie de Pauline, et le soutien de ses amis, dont certains se révèlent ouvertement racistes. Après avoir accepté d'être candidate, la vie de Pauline change radicalement, certains de ses proches se détournent d'elle et elle n'est plus la bienvenue chez certains de ses patients.
