Anything for Her (2008)

Aka: Pour Elle

French drama about the lengths a man will go to in order to protect and rescue the woman he loves from the system and from herself. How far is too far? He walks the fine line between fulfilling an objective and succumbing to an obsession. The two leads are utterly believable and even when the story hurries over a few things to keep the pace it remains matter-of-fact and extremely powerful.
