Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Lee Eisenberg I don't know whether or not Claude Lelouch was considered part of the French New Wave, but judging by "Un homme et une femme" ("A Man and a Woman" in English), I'd say that he should be. The Oscar-winning movie chronicles a relationship that has arisen following tragic circumstances. The switching back and forth between black-and-white and color adds a mystifying angle to the plot. But most important is the complexity of the characters and subtlety of the plot. Jean-Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimée put on the performances of a lifetime. I guess that the movie's overall point is that life comes at us fast and can throw in unpleasant surprises, so we need to develop social connections however possible.A masterpiece.

elvircorhodzic A MAN AND A WOMAN is a romantic drama, which in an honest, but shabby, way awakens emotions. This is a melodic and visually beautiful display of a romance, which has very complex background. A sentimental part of the story consists of friendly gatherings, which grow in love and culminate with a passionate sex. It is simply not enough, regardless of a social culture.A young widow Anne, a film script supervisor, is raising her daughter alone following the death of her husband, who worked as a stuntman. A young widower Jean-Louis, a race car driver, is raising his son alone following the death of his wife, who committed suicide after Jean-Louis was in a near fatal crash during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The twosome meet at the boarding school where their children are enrolled. She misses her train, he offers her a ride. It is the first of several friendly encounters which eventually blossom into love...The story is linked to series of charming incidents. The characters seem to be trapped in their past. Their spontaneous humor and honesty are truly impressive, however their behavior towards their children is somewhat trivial. Simply, it is very difficult to link all the elements into one harmonious whole in this film. The characterization is not particularly good, but a visual expression and emotional melodies are very impressive. It seems, that Mr. Lelouch has delighted with his cinematography, while the characters has failed. Anouk Aimée as Anne Gauthier is a very fragile character, which constantly renews the memory of touching and romantic moments with her deceased husband. It is very difficult to be happy in such internal relations. Jean-Louis Trintignant as Jean-Louis Duroc seems to be sincere in love, but he can not accept the fact that someone refuses love and happiness because of the past. His monologues are quite interesting.I think that a visual beauty and melodious are not in accordance with the romance in this film.

gavin6942 A man and a woman meet by accident on a Sunday evening at their children's' boarding school. Slowly they reveal themselves to each other, finding that each is a widow/widower. Each is slow to reveal anything personal so that each revelation is hidden by a misperception.Bosley Crowther wrote, "For a first-rate demonstration of the artfulness of a cameraman and the skill at putting together handsome pictures and a strongly sentimental musical score, there is nothing around any better than Claude Lelouch's A Man and a Woman." I know nothing about Calude Lelouch, and had probably never heard the name before seeing this film. What it reminds me of, though, is the style of Richard Linklater, specifically his Paris films. The story driven by the dialogue of two people just getting to know each other. I cannot help but think this film was a big inspiration on Linklater's writing.

Armand is my central memory. that mixture between music, past, meetings, Monte Carlo atmosphere, phone calls, I love you, children and love between she and her husband, the beach, the old man and his dog, the meeting in final, in a train station. and music. again. a film about love but in a delicate - fragile way. romantic but out of definitions about romanticism.a man. a woman. and a meeting. nothing else. the children, the Sunday , the colors of memories - pieces around an axis. a salad with many fruits but an unique flavor. a legend , a lesson about limits of feelings, nice common crumbs and masterpiece of passion.that is all. like a hot bread. like a race. like a telegram. like a beach, a dog and an old man.
