Synopsis

Dubbed “ the most efficacious make-out movie of the swinging 60s” by none other than Pauline Kael and winner of the 1966 Cannes Film Festival Palm d’Or and two Academy Awards — Claude Lelouch’s A MAN AND A WOMAN is the quintessential arthouse romance starring Jean-Louis Trintignant (THE CONFORMIST) and Anouk Aimee (8 1/2) as two parents, who meet at their childrens’ boarding school, and slowly reveal their secrets. Buoyed by the iconic music of Francis Lai and Pierre Barouh, this inimitable international box office smash would go on to spawn two sequels, the latest of which was released in 2019. In 35mm.
