Cœurs D'Athlètes
''Private Fears in Public Places'' (), is a 2006 French comedy-drama film directed by Alain Resnais. It was adapted from Alan Ayckbourn's 2004 play ''Private Fears in Public Places''. The film won several awards, including a Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Background For the second time in his career Alain Resnais turned to an Alan Ayckbourn play for his source material (having previously adapted another play for ''Smoking/No Smoking''), and remained close to the original structure while transferring the setting and milieu from provincial England to the 13th arrondissement of Paris (contrary to his usual preference). The film consists of over 50 short scenes, usually featuring two characters - occasionally three or just one. Scenes are linked by dissolves featuring falling snow, a device similar to one which Resnais previously used in ''L'Amour à mort'' (1984).

(London: Macmillan, 1980.) p. 966–967. Resnais began making feature films in the late 1950s and consolidated his early reputation with (1959), '' Last Year at Marienbad'' (1961), and '' Muriel'' (1963), all of which adopted unconventional narrative techniques to deal with themes of troubled memory and the imagined past. These films were contemporary with, and associated with, the French New Wave (''la nouvelle vague''), though Resnais did not regard himself as being fully part of that movement. He had closer links to the "Left Bank" group of authors and filmmakers who shared a commitment to modernism and ...
