A Couple (French: Un couple) is a 2022 French-language drama film directed by Frederick Wiseman. Featuring a solo performance by Nathalie Boutefeu as Sophia Tolstaya, the wife of Leo Tolstoy, the film consists of her monologues, which Wiseman and Boutefeu adapted from Tolstaya's letters and diaries. It is Wiseman's first narrative film since The Last Letter  [fr] (2002), and his first ever that is shot on location rather than being a filmed play.[2]
