Four wedding anniversaries serve to chronicle the beginning and end of a thirty-year marriage.
Direction
Lelouch's time-jumping structure still feels experimental fifty years later.
Acting
Ogier and Rufus age decades without makeup, just pure physical transformation.

Director
Claude Lelouch
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Lelouch's post-'A Man and a Woman' imperial phase, when he could get financing for any romantic experiment. The 5.3 TMDB score is criminal—French critics adored its structural audacity.
The four anniversaries correspond to major French historical moments: Liberation, Algerian War, May '68, and post-oil crisis malaise. The marriage IS France, if you want to read it that way (and you should).
