French Film Club: Les Bien-Aimes

This 2011 film by Christophe Honoré starts in the mid-1960s with Madeleine, a young assistant in a shoe shop who ventures into amateur prostitution and meets a charming Czech man. The film follows the pair's story and the story of their daughter, up until 2007, through their respective up-and-down romances from Paris to Reims, Montral Prague and London. Like Honoré's 2007 film Les Chansons d'Amour, this is a musical, with catchy, romantic and humorous tunes.

Starring Catherine Deneuve, Milos Forman, Ludivine Sagnier, Louis Garrel, Paul Schneider, Michel Delpech and Chiara Mastroianni.
