Return to the Beloved (French: Retour à la bien-aimée) is a 1979 French drama film directed by Jean-François Adam.

Synopsis

Jadis pianiste de concert réputé, Julien est aujourd'hui un obscur musicien brisé par la rupture d'avec sa femme Jeanne dont il est toujours amoureux. Mais Jeanne s'est depuis remariée avec Stefan Kern, un Allemand. Une situation que Julien, fou de jalousie, ne peut accepter, lui qui espère par-dessous tout regagner l'amour de son ex-épouse. Pour ce faire, il ourdit une machination machiavélique. Julien parvient à manipuler un ami dont il n'hésite pas à se débarrasser puis s'arrange pour faire accuser Kern du meurtre en laissant des indices compromettants pour son rival. Un drame brumeux, lyrique et déroutant sur l'amour-passion et l'autodestruction avec un Jacques Dutronc et une Isabelle Huppert troublants et énigmatiques.

The film is divided into three main sections, each focusing on one of the three main characters. A prologue introduces Paul Godard, a filmmaker, and his estranged girlfriend, Denise Rimbaud. After Paul leaves the deluxe Swiss hotel where he is staying and rebuffs the sexual advances of a male hotel attendant, the film shifts to its first proper section, "The Imaginary," and follows Denise as she makes arrangements to work at the newspaper run by an old friend, or perhaps an old lover, in the Swiss countryside. Denise is struggling with her choice of giving up the apartment she shares with Paul and leaving her job at a television station, where Paul also works. She is also trying to begin a new project, possibly a novel. In the course of her arrangements, including securing a room at a farm in the countryside, Denise realizes she is late to pick up the author and filmmaker Marguerite Duras, and telephones Paul to ask if he can do it for her. Despite being put off by Denise's intention to leave him and their apartment, he agrees.
