Leros said that his films are always about love, and this primitive and unspeakable emotion is the driving force for his continuous creation. As a "film author" born in the New Wave period, his influence is far less than those of the famous names that smashed the history of film. He was once degraded as too commercial, and his subsequent works no longer have the original [男欢女爱] That's so famous.
It's hard to have a purely romantic movie that has won the highest honor in film and television. She is so elegant and distinctive that she still seems to be amazed after forty years.
The man drove back to Paris at night, sitting by the woman he had met for the first time. A pair of men and women who are also parents of different temperaments, confessed their identities from the beginning.
The encounter and the past were repeatedly entangled, and they each remembered the dead person. The progress is black and white, while the memory of the woman is colorful. When the man catches the past talk, it is colored, but his memory is gray.
I think the director has ulterior motives.
If we want to speculate on an explanation, we see that women can hardly forget the past. Even after telling a man I love you, even after they embrace each other tenderly, the past continues to resurface.

The answer was revealed in the interview with the director behind the scenes. In fact, due to the lack of funding at the time of shooting, a complete color film could not be completed. At the same time, the director gave up the original intention of using all black and white films in consideration of future release issues. So all the exterior scenes are colored in color and the interior scenes are black and white, which are what we see.
The love that is bound by the past, so fusion of elegant color quality and nostalgic sound, has achieved an unbearable gorgeousness.
"The heroine starred in a Fellini movie. She must have been suspicious of seeing us with such a simple device." Lerosh smiled in front of the camera 37 years later, "We were really difficult at the time."
A pair of men and women, a pair of children, they go sailing at sea. The end of this scene that cannot be described in words is an extremely beautiful beach vista. While the picture gradually fades out, the whisper-like voiceovers draw people into a deeper fascination. In fact, this book was also a stopgap measure due to financing problems and the inability to perform live recording. Unfortunately, it gave birth to the ultimate beauty.
Some people praised [Men’s Love and Women’s Love]: "Every shot is enough to participate in a photography competition." But if it is just a film that puts all the beauty on the surface, how can it be honored at that time?
I have forgotten the tune of that touching song in the movie. Only remember one lyrics, it should mean: let us start again, belated love. Maybe it's what this movie mainly wants to express.
But how should such a movie speak completely?
