## Description

A portrait of youth in bloom; a tale of one family's dissolution; a reflection upon the danger and the mystery in living. Maurice Pialat's serene, perilous masterwork provides the movie romance a definitive check and eminently deceptive balance the X scratched on top of the O. In one of the astonishing film debuts, Sandrine Bonnaire plays Suzanne, a free spirit and the vessel for an almost Brontëan choler. She's 16, and men exist diverse lovers, an overbearing brother, and the father portrayed by Pialat himself in an unforgettable turn that displays the full magnitude of the cinema giant's tenderness, force-of-will, and presence of being. Woven through with indelible images and heart-stopping moments (and culminating in the infamous "dinner party scene"), A nos amours. [To Our Romance. / Here's to Love.] is a pure creation, a film that will live so long as there's still either movies or love. SPECIAL TWO-DISC EDITION INCLUDING: * Gorgeous new anamorphic transfer of the film in its original aspect ratio * New and improved English subtitle translations * 16-minute 2003 interview with star Sandrine Bonnaire, conducted by former Cahiers du cinéma editor-in-chief, and current director of the Cinémathèque Française, Serge Toubiana * L'Oeil humain [The Human Eye], a 55-minute film by director Xavier Giannoli that analyses A nos amours. and features former Cahiers du cinéma editorial director Jean-Michel Frodon, actors Jacques Fieschi and Sandrine Bonnaire, and other members of the cast and crew * 14-minute excerpt from a 1983 TV interview with Maurice Pialat from the set of A nos amours., and featuring rushes of scenes that don't appear in the finished film * 31 minutes of video screen-tests from 1982 for various actors that variously show up in and do not appear in the finished film * Original theatrical trailer for A nos amours., along with trailers for the six other Maurice Pialat films released by The Masters of Cinema Series

Review: The French Pinter? - I saw this film when I was fifteen in the mid-80s and was quite affected by it. I bought this dvd a few weeks ago to watch it again. Inevitably, I had forgotten most of the film and have a different appreciation of it now but it still packs a punch. Michel Pialat directs himself as the father of Suzanne (Sandrine Bonnaire, stunning in her first role) whose apparently happy family life is torn apart by inner tensions. Pialat walks out on the family, without explanation, but you suspect he is unable to cope with Suzanne's growing promiscuity and his neurotic wife. There is a wonderful, tender scene between father and daughter when he tells her he is leaving. When she asks why, he says "Sometimes people just get up and leave." Simmering underneath is all that is unsaid. He comments that she has changed - then points out she only has one dimple on her cheeks, but used to have two. "Where did it go?" he asks. "It just got up and left," she giggles. The clever script gives you the sense that even when people want to communicate, there are things words can't say. Which might explain the outbreaks of violence, shocking in its immediacy and apparent lack of choreography, especially between mother and daughter and brother and sister. The excellent extra disc features documentaries and interviews (an excellent one with Bonnaire). It explains, for example, that the final scene, (a family dinner where the father returns for the first time since he left to show a potential buyer round the family appartment!)was mostly improvised. Pialat began to direct the scene, disappeared behind the set, donned his costume and re-entered the scene in character without telling the rest of the cast who now had to react to him. Superb! It feels visceral and dangerous and seems to get under the skin to the psychological heart of things. Quite Pinteresque in fact. Unfortunately, this major European film is only available in region 1 format with English subtitles so you'll need a region 1 player to enjoy it.
Review: Best movie by director Pialat and actress Bonnaire, top embodiments of what French movies can be - Everything is perfect in this movie, it captures well the personality of the central character (Sandrine Bonnaire) and her relationships with all those around her. Its almost like a novel by Balzac, Hugo, Proust, etc. Plus some of the cinematrographic aspects and the way the natural beauty of Bonnaire is highlighted by the director is astonishing. If all French movies were like this they would be perfect, many try but they cannot and become just boring. This one hits all the marks of what a top French movie is and can be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A genuine masterwork.
*by H***S on 22 July 2015*

The joy of loving French cinema all my life is to make new discoveries that raise the bar of excellence even higher. This is a remarkable film of a great performance by Bonnaire.
