Winner of two Oscars (one for Best Foreign Film) and the 1966 Palme d’Or, this charming, free-wheeling love story made the international reputation of director Claude Lelouch and also gave birth to the catchy ‘chabadabada’ theme tune! A script-girl is unconsolable after the death of her stuntman husband. Whilst visiting Deauville she meets a racing driver, Jean-Louis Duros, whose desperately unhappy wife has committed suicide. They fall for each other and support each other, letting themselves find love once again.
The screening on Sun 1 September will be introduced by film critic and programmer Roberto Oggiano and followed by a discussion with the audience, as part of our film club, Finally Sunday. No booking is necessary (it’s free to attend), you just need to buy a ticket to the film.
