Lovely, melancholy, fascinating view of Parisian teenagers
This is a lovely, deliberate, melancholy look into the fairy-tale lives of pale, beautiful, preternaturally graceful high-school students in Paris - a dreamy, pearly, wintry Paris on which the harsh sun never, ever shines. The Beautiful Person is so hypnotically beautiful that it drew me through the somewhat jarring adjustment I had to make from my placid late-middle-aged American world into theirs, which teems with sex and longing, but - Oh, my! - it was worth it. This movie is luxurious and delightful. Some of those who do not like it may be unwilling or unable to make such a cultural adjustment, but those who do will be rewarded. Reviews on other sites encouraged me to hang in there through the rough patches in the beginning, when I could not even tell who was who and doing what with whom. Those reviews also hinted that I might be slightly disappointed after Christophe Honoré's last movie, the remarkable...

This movie is superb! --Possible Spoilers!!--
I will admit I wanted to watch this film because Louis Garrel speaks Italian in it, and I also find him incredibly handsome. But looks and some Italian words would not be enough for me to watch a film all the way through. There has to be substance, and the movie must grab my attention from the first five minutes. Sure, the beginning makes no dang sense, and I am not even sure what happened to Junie's mother, but this movie is excellent. Everyone in this film has a purpose, and they all do brilliantly. Louis Garrel does well as the tortured Italian teacher who has feelings for a female student. I too, like other fans, own and obsess over Les Chansons d'amour, but I feel this movie is just as excellent. It's a peek inside what being a French student is like (or so I am assuming since I am American), and how we're not really all that different. It's quite realistic, with people being picked on for differences, the pressure to have a boyfriend, the list...

Product Description

The ever-inventive French director Christophe Honore ("Love Songs," "Dans Paris," "Ma Mere") once again shows his versatility in this tale of adolescent lust and longing. Beautiful 16-year-old Junie (Lea Seydoux, "Mysteries of Lisbon," "Inglourious Basterds"), attends a new school only to find herself in love with her charming Italian teacher (Louis Garrel, "Love Songs," "The Dreamers") while also pursued by a fellow student (Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet). The attractions of the mysterious Junie are the centerpiece of this modern adaptation of Mademoiselle de Chartres' classic novel "The Princess of Cleves." Top to learn more

Customer Review

Confirms Louis Garrel as a great actor.
I recently saw this at the Cinema Village in NYC and was stunned by this evocative, opium infused, gorgeous film. Shot in stark black and white by the great William Lubtchansky, the film is a vivid evocation of a misunderstood golden age when young people thought they could change the world merely by taking to the streets. It's a powerful antidote to the insipid, uninspired THE DREAMERS, the film it's often compared to. A very personal Proustian reminiscence and a very public conjuring of ghosts, the film is simultaneously celebratory and melancholic. Given the right frame of mind, it's absolutely rapturous.

Product Description

Winner of numerous international awards and garnering universal acclaim worldwide, Philippe Garrel's Regular Lovers (Les Amants réguliers) is a rapturous paean to France's near-revolution of May '68 and its aftermath. Shooting in lustrous black and white, Garrel and legendary cinematographer William Lubtchansky capture the era's ambiance with an opulent intimacy that suggests an apocryphal French New Wave opus, while sparring overtly with Bernardo Bertolucci's controversial The Dreamers. Leading a young cast who look and act uncannily period-perfect, the director's son Louis Garrel (The Dreamers, Dans Paris, Ma Mère) confirms himself as one of the hottest new French performers of the moment. Garrel the younger plays François, a student-slash-poet grappling with the tumult--and the doomed romance--of the infamous Parisian riots. After the movement implodes, everyday reality hits with a crash: François is hauled in for draft-dodging, falls in love with aloof sculptor Lilie (Clotilde Hesme), while the well-heeled Antoine can only pass the opium pipe. Regular Lovers is a stunning re-imagining of a misunderstood "golden" age, painstakingly crafted with a combination of bitter nostalgia and an austere yet romantic vision of Paris by night and day.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Stunning new transfer, in the film's original full screen theatrical aspect ratio
- Venice Film Festival Press Conference with director Philippe Garrel, stars Louis Garrel and Clotilde Hesme and producer Gilles Sandoz
- Philippe Garrel filmography
- French theatrical trailer
- Optional English subtitles
- Extensive new essay by film critic Kent Jones Top to learn more

A Classic in its genre
Even if the French/English translation is not 100% acurate - even if the poetry has been lost in translation - this movie is a real Classico/modern sex tale of 2008. A love triangle - sadness and love are the main theme of the movie Great Paris shots - color and black and white - the streets - cafes - cigarettes .............. you are transported in Paris by nights most of the time. It is the photography and musicality that makes this movie a piece of art - sometimes compared to the "parapluies de cherbourg" because of the songs styles - but for the rest we are in 2008 and deep in it. This is VERY french, with a real style that is unique and will probably be a Classic in its genre. If you want a trip to Paris with love stories - this is the one to get

Product Description

Christophe Honoré further makes a case as one of the most exciting filmmakers of our generation with the exuberant and tender Love Songs (Les Chansons D'Amour), a modern day musical told through unforgettable songs sung entirely by the cast. In the hope of sparking their stalled relationship, Ismaël (Louis Garrel, Dans Paris, The Dreamers) and Julie (Ludivine Sagnier, Swimming Pool) enter a playful yet emotionally laced threesome with Alice (Clotilde Hesme, Regular Lovers). When tragedy strikes, these young Parisians are forced to deal with the fragility of life and love. Top to learn more

Romantic, funny, sad, moving
Ismael (Louis Garrel, the Gallic version of the adorable young Hugh Grant), lives with Julie (Ludivine Sagnier). Alice (Clotilde Hesme), who works with Ismael, shares their bed and Julie's affections. On a night of tragedy, Jeanne, unawares, hooks up with Gwendal (Yannick Renier), whose teen-aged brother Erwann (Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet) turns out to be the only one who can bring a shattered Ismael back to life, in the most romantic man-on-man love scene since Rupert Grave's Alec Scudder climbed through Maurice's bedroom window 20 years ago. With rain-slicked streets, coffee and cigarettes, references to a dozen French classics, a haunting score and the best balcony scene since "Romeo and Juliet," this low-budget charmer, which has become a cult favorite in France with the under-25 set, is an "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" for the 21st Century.

Lovely
It took me two viewings to warm up to this film: two love stories, one of which takes a tragic turn. The songs sounded mostly indistinguishable initially and like many French musicals, the actors were left to flounder in their movements while singing. But the depth of emotion rang increasingly true, the plot twists felt unforced and ultimately I was won over by its charm, its sweetness (without being cloying) and its sadness.

Melodies to miraculously cure the moribund!!!
This 2000 3-CD set is a new edition of 2-CD set from 1990 titled "Opérette-Passion" from EMI France. By popular request, this adds to the already mirific collection a third CD containing some of the real glories of mid-XXth century French operettas: Maurice Chevalier, Tino Rossi, Fernandel, Alibert, Denise Duval, Luis Mariano, Georges Guétary, Bourvil, Mathé Altéry, Anny Cordy, Gise Mey and Armand Mestral. The selection is not exhaustive - that would be impossible* - but it does give any listener a major incentive to go ferretting for more of the same and the complete score of some of those genuine masterpieces of charm, humour and melody by Fancis Lopez or Maurice Yvain (among many others). For students of the French language and French opera, this collection is priceless as it gives a very good impression of what makes the French singing voice different from any other: something called "le phrasé", which unfortunately cannot be duplicated or...

FROM OFFENBACH TO LOPEZ
Yesterday ,before going to sleep,you told your wife:I have nothing against FRENCH operettas,but what i want to hear is the songs ,not the dialogue that goes with the genre when you listen to complete works.Here in that collection,all the composers who created that particular form of light music are represented.It is so much more entertaining than traditional opera.Among the highlights are songs from OFFENBACH's works like LA BELLE HÉLENE and LA PÉRICHOLE;MESSENGER's VERONIQUE and MONSIEUR BEAUCAIRE;the famous LA VEUVE JOYEUSE that was successfull around the world;CHRISTINÉ's PHI PHI created the day after armistice in 1918.One of the pleasant surprize for me was hearing songs from LES MOUSQUETAIRES AU COUVENT and one from LA FILLE DE MADAME ANGOT (JADIS,LES ROIS)and another from CIBOULETTE(NOUS AVONS FAIT UN BEAU VOYAGE).MADY MESPLÉ,one of the best singers of the genre is featured on seven songs,and she is always a joy to hear in any role of the...
