A FRENCH film, In Praise of Love (Éloge de l’amour), comes to the screen at Bahrain Cinema Club, Juffair at 7pm tonight.
In the first part, there is talk of a project on the subject of love, with examples of three couples – one young, one mature and the third elderly.
At this point the author comes into contact with a young woman he had already met three years ago.
Just as the project is about to become reality and all problems of an artistic or financial nature having been resolved, the author learns that the young woman has died.
Part two concerns the events of three years earlier.
While interviewing an historian, the future author meets for the first time the young woman, who is training as a lawyer.
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard, the film was nominated for the Golden Palm Award at Cannes Film Festival.
The black-and-white and colour drama was shot by Julien Hirsch and Christophe Pollock.
