 Les miserables
Claude Lelouch's Les Miserables is one of the year's motion picture triumphs: an epic drama that takes the themes of Victor Hugo's novel and transplants them to the twentieth century.
Lelouch re-tells enough of the original that a person would have to be blind not to see the interconnections.
Lelouch uses his creative powers to drive home this point, mixing not only tales from two different centuries, but carefully developing similarities between Henri's life and that of his father, who dies early in the film.

The now-famous climactic scene in a train station was not scripted at the time of shooting, thus Aimee was unaware that director Lelouch had decided upon a tearful reunion between her and Trintignant.

 C'était un Rendezvous DVD review at neon rebel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
One early August morning of 1976, when most of Paris were either on vacation or asleep, Claude Lelouch, a director mostly known for his melodramatic films, strapped a camera to the front of his car and had it raced from one end of Paris to another.
Lelouch allegedly had just purchased a Ferrari 275 GTB, and came up with the idea to race the car through the streets of Paris in the early hours of the typical vacation month, with the camera mounted to the hood or bumper to document the stunt.
Lelouch chose the route based the length of film the camera can hold, and was most likely doing the driving himself, as no Formula 1 driver would commit so many driving errors.

 Babel: Sections: Film: Cinema Stardust: Les Miserables directed by Claude Lelouch
Acclaimed French filmmaker Claude Lelouch, whose classic examinations of intimate emotions include the Oscar-nominated "A Man and A Woman," paints a sweeping portrait of the human condition in his epic drama "Les Miserables," a twentieth-century tale inspired by the nineteenth-century masterpiece of French writer Victor Hugo.
Lelouch’s "Les Miserables" focuses on two French families who struggle, hope, suffer and ultimately find love and friendship in the face of nearly insurmountable odds.
And the beautiful French actress Alessandra Martines, who has not done as much acting in her life as she has dancing, gets the honor of embodying the film’s climax, which is one of the most satisfying emotional conclusions I’ve ever seen.

His brand of melancholy, stylish romanticism, at once jaded and swooning, does not vary much from picture to picture, and his world-weary, glamorous love stories have a tendency to run together in the mind…The sublime silliness of ‘And Now Ladies and Gentleman’ is made all the more delightful by Mr.

 Les Uns et les autres / Bolero / film review / 1981 / Claude Lelouch
Twenty years on, their children are reliving their experiences, and Anne Meyer continues her hopeless quest to find the son she was forced to abandon.
Claude Lelouch’s sprawling epic Les Uns et les autres originally ran to six hours and cost 50 million French francs to make (by far Lelouch’s most ambitious film).
It is also a painfully uneven film – the beauty, drama and sheer poignancy of the film’s first third are far less visible in the rest of the film.

That Lelouch looted the BBC archives seems to be the only explanation for the jewel thief Valentin Valentin (Jeremy Irons: The Time Machine, Longitude), who disguises himself as elderly gents with patently fake moustaches or as shockingly unconvincing wealthy widows and engages boutique owners in blithe burlesques of stick-
One would have to be in awe of how Lelouch so inadequately combines British satire and American advertising in a French film if the results weren't even worth that minor effort.
Of course, it's also entirely possible that Lelouch is attempting to be far cleverer and far more literary than it seems at first glance.

Yet for many viewers this Claude Lelouch-directed film is as magical a love story as any brought to the screen.
Pulling out all the stops, Lelouch employs a wide variety of filmmaking techniques (swirling cameras, slow motion, switches from color to fl and white, flashforwards and flashbacks) to tell his simple but effective love story.
Although not the equal of the work of Lelouch's French contemporaries, A MAN AND A WOMAN demonstrated that a wide American audience was interested in stylish films, provided their stories hit home.

That Lelouch should brave the storm and cast his old friend in his film is testamant to the director's courage or obstinacy!
And what a remarkable piece of casting it is. I cannot think of any actor who could have carried off the part half as well as Tapie, and the recent history of the man adds more than a tinge of spice and colour to the character.
As a result, the film ia little over-long and the sophistication of the Tapie-Luchini comedy is watered down by the comic-book escapades which happen in the various sub-plots.

 Jerry Kindall: C'etait un Rendezvous
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris.
Update the Second: The MetaFilter thread raises the possibility that the car was not actually a Ferrari but Lelouch's own Mercedes (the audio from the Ferrari would have been overdubbed) and that Lelouch himself was the driver, but was only given a ticket, not arrested.
One poster in the Something Awful thread claims Lelouch admitted to being the driver (years later) and although he was given a ticket, the mayor of Paris tore it up.

Three beautiful, cash-strapped actresses and a beleaguered, wickedly vengeful airline attendant hatch a devious jetsetting plot to separate the Donald Trumps of the world from their checkbooks.
Lelouch blends splashy visuals, sharp gags, a clever plot, and a sexy, energetic cast (including Anouk Aimée and La Femme Nikita's Anne Parillaud) with panache, and somehow makes this dazzling, whirlwind farce seem completely improvised.

The Moroccan bits are gorgeous and heat-radiant, shot in Fez and the whitewashed fishing port of Essaouira; there's also a loopy trash subplot featuring Claudia Cardinale as a bored, leathery Italian countess who keeps the local young gigolos employed, and whose own jewels go missing amid all the crooning and mooning.
While Lelouch indulges his glossy fantasies, the ladies and gentlemen of the audience may hum their own tunes.
