A MAN AND A WOMAN

France | 1966 | DCP | 103 min. | French with English subtitles
Director: Claude Lelouch
Cast: Anouk Aimée, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Pierre Barouh

In Deauville, a widowed racecar driver (Trintignant) and a grieving script supervisor (Aimée) meet while visiting their children at boarding school. The two gradually form a romantic bond during a shared trip back to Paris. As their love begins to blossom, past traumas resurface, culminating in a poignant and memorable conclusion. Winner of Oscars for Best Screenplay and Best Foreign Film, Lelouch’s stylish direction and Francis Lai’s eminently hummable score make A Man and a Woman “probably the most efficacious make-out movie of the swinging 60s!” (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker). A recently restored DCP will be screened.
