Finalement

In his latest film, Claude Lelouch adopts a jazz-like style to explore the truth of human emotions. From the opening credits, he sets the tone by describing the work as a "musical fable." Just as jazz abandons conventional melody, Lelouch forgoes narrative coherence and plausibility, instead relying on the rhythm and vibrancy of his scenes to create a whirlwind mosaic. Each scene becomes a piece of the larger puzzle, forming the building blocks of his unique cinematic language.

The director's unrestrained approach mirrors the journey of the main character, who takes an unfiltered look at their life, free from the self-indulgence of a compassionate self-narrative. Through Lelouch's extraordinary skill, this deliberate loss of narrative realism allows for a rare and genuine exploration of love's complexities.
