A film for rainy days

A French film in 1964, which won the Palme d'Or, the collision of high saturation colors is very avant-garde, there is a kind of Matisse's rush, every frame can guide the aesthetic trend, but all this is under the light of music. It will be eclipsed (the full-length symphonic soundtrack used in the film) I will wait for you, this song supports the film's status in film history.

The film tells a very realistic story under the guise of a romantic and sentimental romance. Falling in love can be ignored, but in a marriage, love is not the most important thing. The romantic heroine is married to a jewelry tycoon, and the decadent hero, with the help of the virtuous woman, strives to achieve success in his career. After all, the ending of the movie is already the best with "Sadness" first. The story is sublimated at the end, the hero and heroine meet again by chance, and they explain their well-being in a few small chats. The end seems to be a happy reunion, and everyone got the best results. In a few relaxed greetings, they expressed their good times and their dreams when they were in love have come true, but not with each other. The movie ends in the scene where the hero keeps kissing his wife and children after the heroine leaves. Sure enough, life is all about acting.
