Christophe Honore makes a case as one of the most exciting filmmakers of our generation with the exuberant and tended Love Songs (Les Chansons D'Amour). A modern day musical told through unforgettable songs sung entirely by the cast and scored by Alex Beaupain, the film has overjoyed audiences at the Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals while earning recognition in its native country with four French Cesar nominations.
In the hope of sparking their stalled relatioinship, Ismael (Louis Garrel of Dans Paris, The Dreamers) and Julie (Ludivine Sagnier of Swimming Pool) enter a playful yet emotionally laced threesome with Alice (Clotilde Hesme of Regular Lovers). When tragedy strikes, these young Parisians are forced to deal with the fragility of life and love. For Ismael, this means negotiating through the advances of Julie's sister (Chiara Mastroianni of Persepolis) and a young college student (Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet of Strayed); one of which may offer him redemption.

I'm old skool no French New Wave menage a trois, no dirty love upon the floor... Urgh try if you may but the social dynamics sucked for me. Julie's mom is right - it's hard enough for two ppl. Or maybe I'm just not cut out for polyamory, had to run quick. Sigh XD
Wow, the trailer to me is a lot different than the actual film. The actual film to me was very bleak and melancholy. It was really really good though. I'm obsessed with the song Esmael sings about the sky right now.
While watching, you have to first take into consideration that French culture is different than here in the USA (far less hung-up on sex and sexuality). The trailer is not deceiving. The film is about the FAILING of a "Ménage à trois" (get some culture Video and use the right term) and how a tragic turn-of-events leads the main character to self-acceptance and a renewed and beautiful ability to love more honestly. There are a lot of funny scenes if you're attuned to French culture.
I watched this trailer over and over again, and couldn't wait to see the movie. Well I just watched it last night, and I have to say I feel deceived. The movie is nothing like the trailer makes it out to be. It's not a movie about threesomes or even three lovers. In fact, that part ends very quickly. The best scene in the movie was the morning after he brings home the waitress and he sneaks out while the two were talking. The editing made it look hilarious. The rest was a disappointment.
