Confidences trop intimes (2004)

This French flick is also known as "Intimate Strangers", but neither title quite captures the flavour of the film which kept me watching, albeit slightly puzzled where the action was leading.  A not very young or overly attractive woman marches into a tax accountant's office thinking he is the psychiatrist next door and proceeds to outline her sexual traumas.  She returns a second time during which he tries to tell her that he is not a doctor.  When she does not turn up for their third appointment, he begins to miss her and tries to trace her through the therapist but finds the telephone contact she has given is weather information.  She in the meantime has discovered that he is not qualified to help her, but eventually returns since she finds that their meetings do indeed assist; he too is getting something out of their appointments as his feelings for her grow and as he starts to shed parts of his very narrow way of life.  He confides in both the psychiatrist and his ex-wife who advises that he should "hump her or dump her" (I'm sure the French was less colloquial).  Despite her having told her husband that she has a lover and describing their indulgences in great detail (not that we see her doing this, although we do meet the husband), nothing in fact takes place between them.  In the end she finds the strength to leave her marriage and find a new way of life and he....  Well, that would be telling!
