In this slow-burning romance, charismatic leads Jean Dujardin and Elsa Zylberstein play opposites attracting in postcard India. Celebrated film composer Antoine arrives in Mumbai to record the music for a Bollywood take on\u00a0Romeo and Juliet<\/em>. Already bored with the idea of scoring yet another \u201cmovie for festivals\u201d, the womanizing charmer sets his sights on Anna, the younger wife of the French Ambassador. Ever since his arrival, Antoine has been unable to shake a headache, exacerbated it seems by his much younger girlfriend, who keeps calling from Paris. Anna, on the other hand, is convinced that a child is the only thing missing from her relationship, and decides to go on a \u201cfertility pilgrimage\u201d to the holy city of Varanasi to commune with Amma, the \u201chugging saint.\u201d With his awards and his self-satisfaction, Antoine doesn\u2019t see the need for spiritual quests, but with his girlfriend\u2019s arrival a few days away, he\u2019s got some time to kill. And who knows, a motherly hug might be just the thing for that nagging migraine of symbolic import.<\/p>\n

Few filmmakers are more in love with the idea of being in love than writer\/director\u00a0Claude Lelouch<\/strong>. After six decades of filmmaking and five life partners, the 78 year-old veteran remains ever the hopeless romantic of French cinema. Lelouch forged that reputation beginning fifty years ago with\u00a0A Man and a Woman<\/em>, a simplistic love story that earned him a grand slam of both the Palme d\u2019Or and the Foreign Language Oscar. If his overt sentimentalism confounded his New Wave cohorts, audiences felt no such ambivalence. Over the years he scored hits such hits as\u00a0Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>\u00a0(1995), and the thriller\u00a0Roman de gare<\/em>\u00a0(COLCOA 2008). Most recently his films have taken on a more autobiographical nature, with protagonists that are thinly veiled stand-ins for Lelouch himself, allowing him to explore themes of mortality and family ties. This is Lelouch\u2019s second collaboration with co-writer Val\u00e9rie Perrin, who worked with him on\u00a0We Love You, You Bastard<\/em>\u00a0(COLCOA 2014).<\/p>\n

QUOTES:<\/p>\n

\u201cLelouch diehards will not be disappointed by this new spin on an old theme.\u201d
\n\u2013 Judith Prescott,\u00a0French Cinema Review<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026casts a certain spell with its touches of movie love, its elegant score by frequent Lelouch collaborator Francis Lai, and especially its central performances.\u201d
