    Storyline

    Edit
    From Paris in the 1960s to London in the first decade of the third millennium, Madeleine and her daughter Véra flit from one amorous adventure to the next, living for the moment and taking all the opportunities that life offers. But not every love affair is without its consequences, its upsets and its disappointments. As time goes by and gnaws away at one's deepest feelings, love becomes a harder game to play. —Canon y mus

    Christopher Honore directed
    Catherine Deneuve and her real life daughter, Chiara Mastroianni star in the saga of their lives from the 1960's to 2001. The two are beautiful which is the point: Life is hard even when you are beautiful. The daughter doesn't feel loved. The two men in her life are Paul Schneider and Louis Garrel. Her father loves her. Her mother loves her. Somehow it is not enough. Loudvine Segnier plays the young Deneuve. The repeated refrain is: I can live without you, but I can't live without loving you.

    Then it is said that loving another makes you a different person. And when that person is gone, you are still the person you became when you loved each other.

    The French know more about love than other cultures. I will try to see this again, because I loved the singing. The lyrics were so simple.
