Thirty-eight-year-old Liv Sándor meets the love of her life swimming in the lake. He looks like Bob Dylan. He talks like Rimbaud and he listens to me. The next scene has her storming out of her house a year later saying to her swimming sweetie that she is leaving and never returning.
After storming out Liv wanders the street reflecting on the string of relationships she has had none of which end in “success”. You may be asking yourself if lack of success over time means failure. Liv realizes that love is something that if you don’t learn at an early age you can’t be a virtuoso but if you aren’t a virtuoso you have the right to play.
You might agree with me when I say Liv is perpetually looking for certain characteristics in her men instead of taking them for who they are. A simplistic analysis?
A tiny bit reminiscent of “Groundhog Day”. Starting again after love lessons learnt. Agnès Delachair as Liv is a delight to watch as well as all her love interests in her journey.
This is one of those films you’ll be interpreting as you leave the theatre and that just might be the mark of a good film.
Dreamy soundtrack somewhere between 1951-1966 with a French twist.
