Soulmates bound by an unshakable love, they are forever haunted by Montand’s passionate affair with Marilyn Monroe. Immersed in the charm of old Paris—with its smoky cafes, bohemian nights, and timeless romance—the film captures the spirit of a lost era. Based on a true story.
Marked by films that are now classics, such as Diabolo menthe (Peppermint Soda) or Coup de foudre (Entre Nous), director Diane Kurys’s filmography began with films inspired by her family history and her own adolescence, later shifting to biographical works. The common thread running through the filmmaker’s work is, precisely, mad love against all odds.
"The passionate relationship between iconic actors Signoret and Montand by trail-blazer film-maker Diane Kurys."
