WIN: Les Chansons de L’Amour (Love Songs)
In a former life, I was a Francophile. It started with a love for philosophy, then the existential ideals of Jean-Paul Sartre; then his better half Simone de Beauvoir; coupled with the elitist ‘literature major’ longing to read their works in their native tongue. All it took was one snowy impulse trip to Paris - my first travel experience sans parents - to seal the love affair.
While that interest has since waned, I still enjoy bits of French culture of which this is delicious. Les Chansons de L’Amour feels like what I’d imagine a musical of contemporary twentysomething life to be. I have the soundtrack in my shuffle and it put a little spring in my step yesterday when Je n’aime que toi came on after a long absence.
That and I totally covet Ludivine Sagnier’s white coat.
“Aime-moi moins mais aime-moi longtemps.”
Note: the trailer is one 2:31 spoiler alert. But that’s doesn’t really impact the cinematic viewing experience.
