Film night: Un Homme et une Femme
This is a film of wonderful contrasts, emotional twists and gripping action. Starring iconic French actress Anouk Aimée, it tells the touching story of a young widow who finds love whilst visiting her child at school in Deauville, Normandy. Their budding romance is entwined with grief and memories of the past.
This is a film of great pathos but also thrilling action scenes. The lives of the male leads—one a stuntman and the other a racing driver—will leave you breathless! The film is known for its lush photography, with frequent segues between full colour, black-and-white, and sepia-toned shots, and for its music score by Francis Lai.
