Movie Info

Claude Lelouch's romantic drama Toute une Vie chronicles three different love affairs over three generations during the 20th century. Marthe Keller and Charles Denner portray different members of the families in each of the generations. The stories involve a cameraman's son who suffers and survives internment in a concentration camp in World War II, and his daughter, who marries a man who begins adulthood as an ex-convict and a scoundrel but gradually matures and becomes a well-respected

Mr. Lelouch, of course, gives amour its due in And Now My Love, but this is not nearly so impressive as his perceptive, often touching portraits of three eras and their principals.

If Lelouch's sensibilities are too flimsy to substantiate his quasi-epic ambitions, the film nevertheless offers some cozy comforts and more than a few inside filmmaking jokes.

A film so sentimental and implausible that its emotional indulgence almost seems avant-garde.

[An] energetic, episodic view of three generations of Parisians.

Audience Reviews for Toute Une Vie (And Now My Love)

I cannot believe that no one has mentioned the stroke of brilliance that makes this film an ingenious gem. The film is a "boy meets girl" film in reverse. The two do not meet until the final minute. Instead, the film goes back two generations, beginning with the grandparents of the boy and girl, who come from totally different backgrounds (she comes from a refined background, he is a petty criminal, and their grandparents also reflect these differences). The film flips back and forth from past generations to present as the boy and girl grow up. Their parents are equally different: hers are Jews who meet when they both survive concentration camps. Have you ever wondered if you and your spouse passed each other before you met? Look closely at this film.....the boy and girl are in the same restaurant mid-film, before they even know each other exists. And when the boys comes out of jail after being arrested for making pornographic films, he rises to become a serious filmmaker.....and is interviewed on a talk show.....and when asked about his new project, the film he describes that he is working on is the film you are actually watching!! All of these nuances make And Now My Love one of the most well-conceived films I've ever seen. I've seen it six times, and each time I discover something new in it.
