A Man And A Woman on DVD, Drama, Anouk Aimée, Jean-Louis Trintignant

A man and a woman meet by accident on a Sunday evening at their children's boarding school. Slowly the widower and widow reveal themselves to each other, with each revelation hidden by a misperception. They become closer and closer, until she reveals that she can't have a lover because her husband's memory is still far too strong. Much of the film is told wordlessly in actions or through hearing each person's thoughts.

Stood up in Australia and watched alone
I was a Army Platoon Leader on leave from Vietnam in 1967. Met a nursing student while in Sydney and we had a great lustful filled 4 days . On my last day there we were to meet at this movie but she never showed up. I think the realization of us ever being together probably had something to do with it. Flew back to Vietnam the next day with great memories but a sad heart. This movie was one of the saddest moments for me at the time watching it alone half expecting her to show up any minute. The movie was okay but the soundtrack even better. That was over 50 years ago but still brings back those few special days. Another favorite is Hanover Street starring a very young Harrison Ford.

a masterpiece
It is so refreshing to watch a movie like this one. Those comparing it with Hollywood standards such as the density of the plot, the stunts or 'the sex scene' would be wise to take another look. Such standards cannot be applied here. Lelouch plays with colors, objects, and our natural capacity for associative memory to tell us what is neither written nor spoken. The main actors, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimée master the art of expressing the message. Dialogs are far from poor, but the meaning sometimes has to be found in their tone, their breaks, their pace or, again, the characters' play. What would be cinema for if these were useless ?
