Josepha is a 1982 drama film directed by Christopher Frank and starring Claudia Cardinale and Jacques Perrin as a couple, Josepha and Richard, who are both actors. The film is set during the shooting of a movie in Brittany, where they encounter a wealthy horse-breeder named Philippe (played by Bruno Pradal), who becomes fascinated by Josepha.
As the film progresses, Josepha's feelings for Philippe deepen, and she begins to question her marriage to Richard. Richard, on the other hand, becomes increasingly jealous and insecure as he sees his wife being courted by another man.
The conflict between Josepha and Richard comes to a head in a scene where Philippe takes Josepha on a horseback ride through the countryside, which Richard observes from a distance. This scene is one of the film's most memorable, with beautiful cinematography capturing the emotional turmoil of the characters as they struggle with their feelings.
Ultimately, Josepha must make a choice between the stability of her marriage and the excitement of pursuing a new relationship with Philippe. The film explores themes of love, jealousy, and the complicated dynamics of relationships, and offers a nuanced portrayal of the challenges faced by actors both on and off screen.
