Two widowers’ blossoming romance is challenged by memories of their late spouses.
Written and directed by Claude Lelouch and starring the late Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant this romantic classic shows a widow and widower who meet by chance at their children’s boarding school and whose budding relationship is complicated by the memories of their deceased spouses. Lush photography and a memorable musical score by Francis Lai combined to make it one of the most successful French films of all time and launch Aimée’s career on the international arena as well as giving Lelouch his first Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1966 and an Oscar for best foreign film. Screened in honour of Aimée who died earlier this year with a filmed tribute by Claude Lelouch.
"The beautiful French star Anouk Aimée is appropriately mysterious and glamorous"
