Our take
Half a century since the seminal A Man and a Woman, Claude Lelouch, Jean-Louis Trintignant, and Anouk Aimée revisit the film’s iconic French New Wave romance, now tinged with a wistful nostalgia. This beautiful closing chapter ponders the transformative power of time, emotionally and cinematically.
