This is a reference to Lelouch’s most successful film, “A Man and a Woman”. In this film, the director tells a contemporary fable in which he revisits the thousand possible lives of an ordinary man with their succession of facts, dreams, hopes, disappointments, fears, feelings and emotions.
The result is a pleasant, poetic, romantic and well-structured film, in which hilarity and a sense of humor are not lacking
The soundtrack is the common thread that connects them in a single narrative, and the trumpet is the instrument that allows memory and reflection. The narrated journey is the path undertaken by the protagonist to find himself and is sometimes realistic, sometimes imaginary: as in our reflections, situations overlap with dreams.
The grace with which Lelouch caresses his memories and his dreams is truly remarkable
Finally, the homage to Lino Ventura, one of the artists with whom the director collaborated in his greatest successes, is to be appreciated.
