Un homme et une femme (1966)
The film won the Palme d'Or at the 19th Cannes Film Festival in 1966.
The movie tells a love story. The hero and heroine's children go to the same school, and the heroine got to know each other because they took the hero's car back to Paris. In the car, the two get to know each other, and the hero knows that the heroine's husband is dead. After the heroine got home, the two made an appointment to contact again. The next weekend, the hero and heroine meet again, and the heroine learns that the hero is a racing driver and that his wife has passed away. The two took their children and spent a day at the beach. The next week, the hero goes to Monte Carlo to participate in the competition. The heroine misses the hero so much that she can't help sending him a telegram of "I love you". The actor rushed back to Paris immediately after receiving the telegram. But the heroine is not at home in Paris, but goes to the children's school. After some searching, the hero and heroine finally meet and have a relationship. But the heroine always thinks about her dead husband, and the two parted ways. In the end, the separated two people recalled the details of when the two met, and finally the two embraced.
The movie is very simple, no need to say anything, just one sentence is enough: love just comes! Love is like the interpretation of the hero and heroine in the film. There are acquaintances, understandings, longings, scruples, rejections, nostalgia, and lovers who end up getting married. Through the simple love story of the male and female protagonists, the film director shows the audience the whole process of love, so that we can find an initial touch while enjoying the simple and fresh film. This kind of movie is a good movie and a movie worth watching. The judges of the Cannes Film Festival have finally been "vulgar" once.
The filming is very characteristic. Most of the pictures in the film are landscapes, close-ups of characters, and flashbacks of some memories, which make the film stand out from the crowd. Especially the scene when the male protagonist describes himself as a pimp, which is absurd and funny, it is very funny! In addition, the film also uses black and white and color images to express the emotions of the characters. Color expresses sunny, cheerful and joyful scenes, while black expresses ordinary and depressing scenes. In this way, you can clearly feel the mood of the hero and heroine, which is very clever. In short, this film is very unique in shooting, that is, it perfectly expresses the plot, and it is pleasing to the eye, giving the best of both worlds.
The actors of the film performed their due diligence. The male protagonist Jean-Louis Trintignant is not handsome, but the character's silly appearance in love is perfect. The heroine Anouk Aimee is not a beautiful woman, but she is also competent to show the impulses of women in love. The main actors of the film are these two, which shows how simple this film is.
in conclusion. This is a love sketch suitable for relaxing, but the plot is too simple. It would be great if there were more of the Palme d'Or winning films.
