La Bonne Annee Digitally Remastered Edition

[Machine Translation] This light and stylish hard-boiled romance film was released in 1973 by Claude Lelouch, director of "Man and Woman" (1966), and starring Lino Ventura, the famous actor from "The Adventurers" (1967) and "Baraki" (1972). The music is by Francis Lai, who worked with director Claude Lelouch for a long time. The film is a fusion of a crime movie and a sophisticated adult love story, with the present-day scenes in black-and-white and recollections in color, as is typical of Lelouch. Stanley Kubrick said it was his favorite film and showed it to all the actors before shooting his own film. A Hollywood remake was produced as "Peter Falk's The Great Thief in Love" (1986). This cult favorite, which has never been released on DVD or distributed, is now available on Blu-ray for the first time in a digitally remastered version! A Man and a Woman" is being screened on New Year's Eve in a prison. Simon, who has been imprisoned for six years for robbing a jewelry store, is granted parole with a special New Year's pardon. Six years earlier, Simon and his partner Charles had made a detailed plan to rob a jewelry store in Cannes during the off-season. However, he fell in love at first sight with Francoise, who ran an antique shop next door to the jewelry store they were targeting. Simon uses his ingenuity to get close to Francoise, and the two eventually fall in love... Special features include the original trailer, the trailer for "The Chronicles of a Man and a Woman," and a commentary by director Claude Lelouch to commemorate the release of "The Chronicles of a Man and a Woman" (tentative). Postcard enclosed (planned).
