The plot moves on, well, the title explains it all.

Les Chansons d’Amour / Love Songs (2007)

Christophe Honoré directs this direct descendant from the wonderful MGM musicals of my youth. That is a long time ago.

I have watched this film many times and am still moved by the situations as they evolve from one stage to another. It is helped, of course, by the fact that the principles end up together, both men. But by this time, it is only a matter of enjoying the thing and not figuring it out. That was the charm of the old Gene Kelly vehicles and this is brought back here.

This film inaugurates a retrospective involving all the gay themed films that I have collected. It will take a while to go through them. My form of support for more of this genré involves buying the disc and adding it to the collection. And of course, playing them.

My plan for the immediate future is for a Netflix hiatus and a run through the DVD library in our house.

No better way to start than with this solid Netflix5.

Now you know how it ends but you could not have any doubt as the film progresses.

Louis Garrel, Ludivine Sagnier, Clotilde Hesme, Brigitte Roüan)and Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet as the "other man" featured with Garrel in this outtake.
