They have begun a ménage à trois with Ismaël's co-worker Alice (Clotilde Hesme), though Julie confides to her sister Jeanne (Chiara Mastroianni) that it's not quite what she wants. Ismaël is unaware of Julie's hesitation, he sometimes feels marginalised and sometimes jealous of the relationship between Julie and Alice. Christophe Honoré’s new film, LES CHANSONS D’AMOUR is an exploration of love, loss and new beginnings. Honoré has up again teamed up again with Louis Garrel, their third collaboration and it seems Louis Garrel has become Honoré’s on screen alter ego. Like DANS PARIS Honoré has refined his New Wave influences, this time from the later period of the movement, Truffaut’s DOMICILE CONJUGAL (BED AND BOARD) and Jean Eustache’s LA MAMAN ET LA PUTAIN. LES CHANSONS D’AMOUR is a musical, which at first seems a homage to Jacques Demy’s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg but the musical numbers act as a narrative device to explore the psychology of each character at the time. |
