: The heart of the film lies in the intellectual exchange between Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård). As Joe describes various chapters of her life, Seligman analyzes her stories by drawing parallels to academic subjects such as fly-fishing, mathematics, and classical music.
