Love Songs March 13, 2009

An audience favorite at the Cannes and Toronto film festivals, Love Songs features a memorable score song by the cast, a balcony scene, and some of the most beautiful young French movie stars.

Characters hop from bed to bed and confront both love and loss in this song-filled, tragedy-inflected romance. By the film's end, the pairings show a refreshing disregard for gender. References to French New Wave classics such as The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Jules and Jim, and numerous Godard films abound. The lovely leads include Louis Garrel (compared by some to the young Hugh Grant) of Dans Paris and The Dreamers, Ludivine Sagnier of Swimming Pool, and Clotilde Hesme of Regular Lovers. (100 mins., 35mm)

Join us after this film for the annual Out @ Wex party, with snacks and a cash bar in the café area.
