ON CONNAIT LA CHANSON (2005)
ALAIN RESNAIS
Plot
Same Old Song revolves around two Parisian sisters caught in a web of dysfunctional relationships and romantic confusion. Odile, an upper-class wife and businesswoman, finds an escape from her submissive husband Claude when her old flame Nicholas unexpectedly returns. Camille, a naive tour guide falls for the slimy, young realtor Marc, while overlooking Simon, a caring older man with a passion for history. In a tribute to the classic films of Dennis Potter, Resnais has his characters lip-synch to fragments of musical recordings including Josephine Baker and Maurice Chevalier, allowing them to express their innermost thoughts and feelings. Winner of 7 Cesar Awards, Same Old Song is a delightful romantic, musical comedy.
