Claude Lelouch's romantic drama Toute une Vie chronicles three different love affairs over three generations during the 20th century. Marthe Keller and Charles Denner portray different members of the families in each of the generations. The stories involve a cameraman's son who suffers and survives internment in a concentration camp in World War II, and his daughter, who marries a man who begins adulthood as an ex-convict and a scoundrel but gradually matures and becomes a well-respected filmmaker living in New York. Each section of the film utilizes a style of filmmaking that is associated with the time period being portrayed. Lelouch earned an Academy Award nomination (along with co-screenwriter Pierre Uytterhoeven) for his screenplay in 1975. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

| Wonderful acting and writing, a real pleasure to watch. After a slow start, this film develops a beautiful lyricism, with a very light touch. Surprisingly the comic elements don't disrupt the flow. This movie must have inspired the Ralph Fiennes "Sunshine" since there are so many common elements- same actors playing different generations, the Holocaust, search for fulfillment and meaning, but this movie is much lighter, almost as though Woody Allen had tried to make a serious movie during his "Sleeper" phase. |
