Man and a Woman
Probably the most efficacious make-out movie of the swinging ‘60s.
-- Pauline Kael
A Man and a Woman
In A Man and a Woman, race car driver Trintignant and “la scripte-girl” Aimée meet at their kids’ boarding school, and then the flashbacks and Francis Lai’s can’t-get-it-out-of your-head main love theme begin, in the undeniably romantic international smash hit –
winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or and two Academy Awards® (Best Foreign Film and Best Original Screenplay) and two nominations (Best Director and Best Actress).
"A tender, visually stirring film of rejuvenating love between a widow and a widower: Trintignant and Aimée share a candid romance while balancing the demands of career and parenthood. It’s a touching, realistic look at a burgeoning adult romance, with each participant encumbered by a past tragedy, causing them to proceed delicately. Also famous for Francis Lai’s gorgeous, swooning score…Quite possibly one of the sweetest love stories ever captured on screen.” – Wilson Chapman, IndieWire
“How to resist a pairing as photogenic as Aimée and Trintignant? I couldn't take my eyes off either of them.” – Anthony Quinn, The Independent
“The final scene should go down in history as one of the most romantic ever put to film.” – Far Out Magazine (U.K.)
