L'art et l'amour de racconter histoires. Resnais stops,run, turn, when he wants just to make sure we are enjoying the story as he is. Here is more sentimental than in other films, Dussolier is really a nice brute depicted with indulgence and Azema with every kind of simpathy. Don't like the open fatal ending.

A very elegant, beguilingly mysterious study of mental frailty, obsession and the unexpected paths of fate, with a welcome dash of wit and adventurous spirit thrown in for good measure. A film to be relished and savoured for its use of colour and visual beauty too; Resnais' best for decades.

Description: A wallet lost and found opens the door to romantic adventure for Georges and Marguerite. After examining the ID papers of its owner, it is not a simple matter for Georges to turn the red wallet he found in to the police. Nor is it that Marguerite can recuperate her wallet without being piqued with curiosity about whom it was who found it. As they navigate the social protocols of giving and acknowledging thanks, turbulence enters their otherwise quotidian lives.
