Audience Member I cannot believe that no one has mentioned the stroke of brilliance that makes this film an ingenious gem. The film is a "boy meets girl" film in reverse. The two do not meet until the final minute. Instead, the film goes back two generations, beginning with the grandparents of the boy and girl, who come from totally different backgrounds (she comes from a refined background, he is a petty criminal, and their grandparents also reflect these differences). The film flips back and forth from past generations to present as the boy and girl grow up. Their parents are equally different: hers are Jews who meet when they both survive concentration camps. Have you ever wondered if you and your spouse passed each other before you met? Look closely at this film.....the boy and girl are in the same restaurant mid-film, before they even know each other exists. And when the boys comes out of jail after being arrested for making pornographic films, he rises to become a serious filmmaker.....and is interviewed on a talk show.....and when asked about his new project, the film he describes that he is working on is the film you are actually watching!! All of these nuances make And Now My Love one of the most well-conceived films I've ever seen. I've seen it six times, and each time I discover something new in it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member In part: charming, innovative, overlong & confusing. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member My parents loved this movie when it came out and so, after years of trying to find this on dvd, I was finally able to sit down and watch... and.... err.... what the hell? Three hours in the interweaving goes from charming to convoluted... and the space ending was idiotic. I hear there's an American cut of this film that ends in the airplane, I'm sure that's a much better film. If I try and forget the last half hour, it's easily a four star movie for the amazing camerawork and the interesting dialogue alone. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Intriguing film tracks the convergence of the paths of two lovers from very different backgrounds over the course of several generations, one a rich little daddy's girl and the other a criminal who aspires to be a great film-maker. Lelouch spins an engaging tale ranging from the turn of the 20th century to the near future (though this strange sequence, restored on DVD, was rightly removed from the theatrical version - the tone is quite different and detached from the rest of the film - it plays like it was lifted from 'Logan's Run'). On the whole though, the innovative camerawork and unconventional storytelling keep it interesting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Une bonne idee de depart... Le film qui servit de de brouillon pour "Les uns et les autres" ou "La belle histoire"... Derniere sequence magnifique (les valises a Orly...) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member If you have not seen it yet you must.
