She, Anne Gauthier (Anouk Aimée) is a widow who raises her daughter alone. She was a filmmaker and her husband, a stuntman, tragically died while filming a scene. She travels from Paris to Deauville every week to pick up her daughter, who attends a school in Deauville. He, Jean-Louis (Jean-Louis Trintignant) is a widower, raising his son alone. He was a racing driver and his wife killed himself after a car accident thinking he was dead. He also travels to Deauville every week to pick up his son. One day, Anne missed the last train back to Paris after sending her daughter to school, so she met Jean-Louis, Jean-Louis drove Anne home, and the two agreed to pick up the child together next week. The following Sunday, the pair had a great time together with their two children. Two lonely men and women are attracted to each other, and love is taking root. However, Jean-Louis felt that there was something strange in this love, and the thoughts of her ex-husband made Anne tangled...
The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1967 and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1968.

    Really like. What a nice view. Intoxicating music and footage. What a wonderful love! Whether it was once, now, or in the future, 20 years later, the traces of the years climbed on their faces, and they still fell in love. 2018.7.1 When I saw the poster of this film in "Beauty in the Day" that day, I felt that I had to revisit it.

    I originally thought that the alternation of black and white and color had any special meaning. Then I felt that I just wanted to show it like this.//The initial love mood was mostly a mixture of joy and blind impulses, such as being in a different place and thinking of you, I immediately set off to find you, etc.// We choose to lie about some things and the lie doesn't conflict with the truth

A Man and a Woman quotes

  • Jean-Louis Duroc: Some Sundays start well and end badly. It's hard to believe- It's crazy to refuse happiness. If I had to go through this again, What would I do? Is there anything else I could do? To see her for months on end as a pal. What happens? You end up being pals, maybe. She wired, 'I love you.' Admit it boy, you just don't understand women.
