Das Leben ist ein Chanson

Observing the merry ballet of apartment hunting in Paris, Alain Resnais conducts an elegant pas de deux between desire and displacement. Camille’s thesis on history serves Simon just as well as it does Marc, both men following her through the city’s corridors, while Nicolas and Odile share the same staircase in pursuit of space. Some plot threads snap under the weight of their own charm before they’re fully tied.
