I'm in my Michel Simon period, watching his best period from 1943 (Vautrin) to 1958 (Un certain Mr Jo),when he was not too thin and sometimes playing old characters in the 30's and not too tired from the 60's to the end. I just tried this chronicle about loss of love in a couple critical period, with Michel Simon helping them. The story is full of sensitive details, and intelligently played by entire casting in the sunny South of France. Special mention to Michel Simon, Marie Dubois anf Gainsbourg of course.
Plot summary
