"A wealthy lawyer’s life suddenly takes a strange turn after he find out his wife is cheating on him with a photographer, a turn which leads him to a life he always wanted. 

Pacing and credibility are sadly defective. The Big Picture fails to be compelling regardless of the interesting psychological inclinations that are hinted in the first part of the film, which makes it quite unfulfilling and forgettable."

Drama, France
