Mon amour, mon amour

An architect has a lover who is a young woman who aspires to become a singer. She ends up getting pregnant but refuses to tell him because she plans to have an abortion.

Probably made to capitalize on the success of "un homme et une femme" ,it's Jean-Louis Trintignant's then wife Nadine's first effort ,reuniting her husband with his suicidal wife featured in Lelouch 's film .

It' s her most mediocre effort : Francis Lay 's syrupy score, sea,sex and sun ,navel-gazing, hollow characters , pretentious frames of mind in voice over , stating fortune-cookie philosophies , actors who appear and disappear without bringing anything to the thin plot , all the worst aspects of the Nouvelle Vague.

Trintignant is an architect (father of a little girl,played by his own ill-fated daughter Marie ); Lagrange wants to be a singer : in real life ,she was ,doing easy-listening in the sixties ,then turning punk rocker in the eighties.

Marie Trintignant would make more coherent films later,notably " le voleur de crimes' "ça n'arrive qu'aux autres" or "défense de savoir" , but this one is a big bore.
