Movie Reviews of A Man and a Woman
Movie Review: Self-love
Summary: 5 Stars
First time I watched this film, it was forced on me by my French teacher who was madly in love with this film. I am sure he meant well, but, despite the simplicity of the storyline, it was a torture for a student who was only two weeks into his first French course.I returned to the film later (with subtitle, mercifully) and kept coming back for more ever since. The film is a very intimate study of the relationship between man and woman. There are items in the film that dates it firmly in the 60's (like songs and clothes) but the charm of this film is timeless as it deals with that "Fundamental Thing" Sam was singing about in Casablanca.
My French is still bad but it is not the film's fault.
Movie Review: Monte Carlo Rally brings man and woman together
Summary: 5 Stars
The man and woman of the title have each suffered the trauma of death of partners - killed in separate accidents. The man, father of a young son, lives in a world of motor racing. The woman, mother of a young daughter, is prominent in motion picture production. The drama of the film lies in the emotional and psychological tensions of these two people finding, realising and accepting love a second time. Embedded loyalties and attitudes of the couple are not easy to change. Natural and unscripted dialogue, low-key scenery, and mundane realities combined with the high expectations of the man and the woman give the film a spontaneity and quality that make it a classic of French cinema.Movie Review: A Man and a Woman
Summary: 5 Stars
A highly popular date movie in the mid sixties, Claude Lelouch's Oscar-winning "A Man and a Woman" may owe its innovative visual style to the French New Wave, but at its heart is a very simple love story, as the title implies. Flashing back and forward in time, switching from color stock to black-and-white, Lelouch tells the tale of these two lovers with stylistic panache and a dizzyingly romantic tone underscored by Francis Lai's lilting, memorable score. Love, as only the French know how to do it.Movie Review: The original FRENCH is back, with the DVD release!
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD has just been released (March 18, 2003) For those of us who love the film, but suffered for many years with the dubbed English, the French language (with subtitles) is back! Anouk and Jean-Louis never sounded more romantic. The color, the music, and the sounds are fantastic, just as we remember them from the theater release.
For those who hate subtitles and require English, the solution is just a menu click away.
Indulge yourself- Order the DVD and retire your beloved, ragged VHS.
Movie Review: jazzman
Summary: 5 Stars
Sophisticated, beautifully filmed, gorgeous music, mature,
gentle, cool, heartwarming, a cinematic work of art, well
paced, and unforgettable. A masterpiece of French cinema.
Watch the sub-titled version, NOT the dubbed. It makes
all the difference in its intention. I've loved this film
since I first saw it back in the 60's, and now it's on
dvd with subtitles. The sequel "20 Years Later" is lame.
Stick with the original. He got it right the first time.
