If It Ain't Broke ...

Warning: Spoilers
Actually, along with several others, I went to watch the original Un Homme et une femme from 1966 - which explained why the cinema was three quarters full on one of the hottest days of the year. It was a one-off screening past of the 'Sunday French Classics' series but somehow what we got was A Man And A Woman 20 Years After, possibly the renters shipped the wrong title. It was certainly not something I would have turned out for even on a much cooler day but as long as I was there I figured I'd enjoy looking at Anouk Aimee and anything else would be a bonus. Lelouch is far from the most stable of filmmakers at anytime, as a director he reminds one of Michael Caine as an actor - both are so prolific that every eight or nine films they turn up with something worth seeing. Alas, this was somewhere between one and seven which means that the best things in it were the clips from the original.
