We Won't Grow Old Together  /  Love Exists

Nous ne vieillirons pas ensemble

Jean, a film director, and Catherine, less educated, as he likes to point out, are in a long-term extramarital affair that falls apart.  Then, comes back together.  Then falls apart, as relationships, especially abusive ones, do.  Director Maurice Pialat's mature and rigorous look at the process is unabashedly autobiographical edited from a very personal sense of (dis)orientation.

35mm, color, in French with English subtitles, 110 min.  DIR: Maurice Pialat.  CAST: Marlène Jobert, Jean Yanne, Macha Méril.
