QuickView

Story-line: a chance meeting between a movie industry assistant and a race-car driver leads to love.

Pluses: excellent acting by Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant, a moving scenario, splendid direction by Claude Lelouch and a classic score by Francis Lai (you’ve probably heard it somewhere without making the connection).

Minuses: none whatsoever, unless black and white films are not your cup of tea.

Comments: the film’s plot is not very full but, then again, love stories often hinge on a glance, a smile or a few simple words. This is one of Lelouch’s very best works, a Palme d’Or winner in 1966… and it’s so-o-o romantic, boys and girls!!!
