In a tribute to cinema, and to his own distinguished career, filmmaker Claude Lelouch resurrects the characters from his acclaimed film "A Man and a Woman" -- and uses the entire French motion picture industry as the backdrop for their love affair. It's 20 years later, and Anne and Jean-Louis have gone their own separate ways. Jean-Louis is no longer a race car driver, but organizes automobile stunts. Anne, in the meantime, has become a successful film producer -- whose professional life has suffered from a series of recent flops. To revitalize her career, Anne decides to turn the story of her relationship with Jean-Louis into a movie. But when the former lovers meet, their romance starts all over again. [More]

At several points, Mr. Lelouch inserts clips of the young couple from A Man and a Woman. Those moments glow and remind us of what is missing this time round.

Undeniably visula with a suitably sweeping score. Cynics should stay well away and let the rest of us enjoy it.

At his worst, Lelouch is extraordinarily awkward, shooting off in 12 different directions.

The story falls flat since not enough loving care has been given to the screenplay.
