巴黎小情歌

French filmmaker Christophe Honoré’s homage to Jacques Remy’s singsong musical films, LOVE SONGS, his fourth feature, plunders its triptych structure precisely from Remy’s THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG (1964), divided into three chapters verbatim “Le départ, L’absence, Le retour”, it is a twee treatment of intimate relationship in a modern-day Paris, and beware that its dramatis personae will gladly sing at the drop of the hat, anywhere, anytime.

Our protagonist is Ismaël (Garrel), in the first chapter “The Departure”, he and his long-time girlfriend Julie (Sagnier) try to enliven their seven-year-itch doldrums with a menage-à-trois, and the third party is Ismaël’s colleague Alice (Hesme), who nonchalantly chants that she is the bridge between them. But the triangular equilibrium is not entirely stable, especially for the sensitive Julie, who divulges the with-it arrangement to her mother (Roüan) and elder sister Jeanne (Mastroianni), to their utter astonishment. Only soon after, Julie is abruptly succumbed to a cardia arrest.

The middle chapter “The Absence”, centers around Ismaël’s woebegone coping mechanism after the sudden bereavement, his inconsolable grief distances Alice and he feels encroachment from Jeanne, whose intention might not be entirely unsavory, Julie’s family still treats him like its own member, but it is the persistent pursuance from a young boy Erwann (Leprince-Ringuet) that casts a different light on Ismaël’s quagmire.

Finally in the “The Return” chapter, after a series of mishaps, mostly involving a bed-hopping Ismaël caught in flagrant delicto by Jeanne, who is piqued and befuddled by his wanton conducts to handle his grief, things tentatively steers towards a renewed hope in Ismaël’’s discovery of a new perspective of physical intimacy.

Steeped in a very Gallic cobweb of emotional vacillation, angst and nonchalance, LOVE SONGS fashionably delves into the modern relationship value with an attitude of exploring more unconventional options yet never feels too hokey or self-conscious. However, similar to Remy’s works, to this reviewer’s tin ears, it is the monotonous French chansons (here composed by Alex Beaupain) that dull the edge of elation and empathy. Garrel comports himself confidently in his swinging-both-ways panache, but a lingering image, besides Honeré’s surname-only opening credits and faux-archive footage in the wake of Julie’s demise, is drawn from Sagnier’s dainty presence, an impish figure that is taken too early from this world and its repercussions push her lover to get his feet wet in a new possibility that only too good to be true, but whatever works!

referential entries: Jacques Remy’s THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG (1964, 7.3/10), THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT (1967, 6.9/10); François Ozon’s 8 WOMEN (2002, 8.1/10).

第13届#法罗岛电影节#无人知晓单元第6个放映日为大家带来《巴黎小情歌》，下面为大家带来前线伤心男人们为爱所困的评价了！

George：

这是在干啥？

蝠蝠：

三人游，多人游，游到最后绿油油。

果树：

延续了法国歌舞片的传统：歌不好听。

墨夜轩：

爱我少一点，但爱我久一点。歌也太好听了吧。

法罗岛帝国皇后：

暖心0趁虚而入把刚经历痛失爱人的直男掰弯的故事。

西北化为乌有：

城市气质把握精准，三人行的部分比后段情感急转更加完整灵动。

Sparrow：

歌舞与剧情不是很协调，大多是伊斯麦的悲情絮语，而爱情大胆恣意的流动则是法式小浪漫吧？

我们敏熙：

结构松而不散。从两女一男的不稳定三角关系到最后的男男关系着实有趣，更不用提还有个姐姐不时出现。

Pincent：

属于那种注重情绪意境的，与城市空间的气质结合，音乐、情感、甚至性向都是流动的。总得来说只配利用那一点点新浪潮气质，来衬托别的影片。

松野空松：

金发女主跳戏到德奶，男主气质又有点布里亚利，前半部分小品模式像及了女人就是女人，整个歌舞部分又很德米，完完全全就是新浪潮大杂烩嘛。

巴黎小情歌：

不愿爱之深切，渴望爱情的长久或许是因为对失去爱人的恐惧。在歌声与浪漫的都市氛围中爱被描绘的朦胧与迷惘。他又何尝不是个爱情的替代品，只是愿意而已。

Supremacyacron：

R&B风格的配乐似乎与这个相对苦情的故事并不算很搭调，而对于男主而言，爱情更像一张密不透风的网，即便失去异性爱人也依旧无法逃离，还是会有个同性爱人在不远处等着你，不过这种趁虚而入多少有点趁火打劫的意思，不免显得有些油腻。

野凡：

影片残留了些许法国新浪潮的余韵，仿佛是一部音乐版《男性，女性》。路易·加瑞尔在本片中阴郁，多愁的状态，与让-皮埃尔·利奥德在《男性，女性》中焦虑，懵忡的状态也颇有相似之处。淡漠昏沉的色调，遒劲规整的节拍，你来我往的街头，埋藏许多人无以言表的心事和忧虑。

斯诺-纳什维尔：

音乐是这部电影的一个关键元素，它给人一种巴黎式的忧郁气氛。这种音乐经常被使用在两个或两个以上的人物以对话中，让人们在对话中表达自己的感情和观点。无论是在室外，在巴黎无尽的大街上，还是在寒冷的冬夜里温暖的床上，演员们熟练地描绘了这一切的每一个瞬间，把他们的心倾注到歌曲中，这些场景都被拍摄得非常好，有时让观众觉得自己身处现场。

子夜无人：

拍得也太新浪潮了，准确来说是自从那个时期、那个阶段之后就很难看见这样在精气神方方面面都如此自由的电影，甚至连路易·加瑞尔看上去都无端端地酷似让·皮埃尔·利奥德。喜欢这部电影里的每一支歌，在一个人穿过地下通道闯进人群的时候，在两个人相对却互相说不出话的房间，在没有人的夜幕低垂的街角，我们遇见每一个人的轨迹好像都一样，先互相亲密再互相入侵，有的爱情已经倒地不醒，有的爱情刚刚结冰，有的爱情你翻过阳台也要去亲。

Polaris.J:

第三次重看，感动依旧，喜爱程度更高了，在迷影初期和重度腐女期爱上的电影，对我来说很有意义，那时候还不懂新浪潮。（个人非常喜欢有关三人行和被掰弯情节的片）。喜欢这里的每一首歌，像是在听摇滚音乐剧，每首歌发生的每一个场景，吵架的街上，细数生活的房间，热烈表白被拒的街角，确定心意在窗台的亲吻，极致浪漫。很治愈很有希望感，相信不管发生了什么bad things,都可以疗愈自我然后重拾迎接以后生活的勇气。很喜欢路易·加瑞尔古怪独特的英俊，不管是做演员还是导演都很棒。Aime moi moin, mais aime moi long temps.

#FIFF13#DAY6的无人知晓场刊评分将在稍后为大家释出，请大家拭目以待了。
