Love Songs

Love Songs

(Les Chansons d'amour ), Christophe Honoré / F, 2007
French version / Czech and English subtitles, 100 min

Ismaël loves Julia and Julia loves Ismaël. To avoid a routine in their relationship they let a friend Alice come between them. When this “ménage à trois” starts to creak, Julia suddenly dies and her loss deeply affects Ismaël’s life. A larkish young man all of sudden becomes a loner rejecting the efforts of the people around him to approach him. Into his life, however, enters a young student Erwann whose innocence offers Ismaël a completely new perspective. A story about love and death combining elements of social drama and musical. César 2008 for best music.
