Beloved - Les bien-aimés

[LiquidLuck.]

Orinal Title: Les bien-aimés
English Title: Beloved

About one year ago, August/September 2011 to be more exact, I had tickets to the premiere of this movie. I really loved it and wasn't expecting it'd be as good as it was.

It's a french movie with mostly french actors that are really known, but since the story happens in London, there are some English parts. This is a kind of musical film since that with lots of songs, they tell us the story of how a daughter (now an adult) makes the exact same mistakes that her mother did when she was her age. Mostly about cheating on their boyfriends.

If you understand french, you really need to go see this movie. If you don't, you still should

Here is the trailer:

The songs are also really really good!

More about the plot:

In the 60's, Madeleine leaves Paris to meet her new husband Jaromil in Prague. Arriving there while it's full of russian tanks and life is dangerous, they will finally fall apart and get divorced. Madeleine then goes back to France. During the 90's, Véra, daughter of Madeleine, falls in love with Henderson, in London. Henderson isn't able to love her back. Madeleine and Véra sing alternately about the end of the 20th century, with a bit of stubbornness, without which they would succumb.
