Un homme et une femme
1966 Drama / Romance   

 

Review
Claude Lelouch brings to the big screen an otherwise pretty vacuous love story in a totally fresh and original way.  He uses a wide range of cinematographic techniques and story telling devices to convey the story in an engaging and pleasing style.  The film flips from colour to black and white, with fast cuts and some unusual camera shots, creating a vibrant piece of cinema.
