By boiling a dysfunctional couple down to a worst-hits clip reel, the director created one painful autopsy of an affair, the polar opposite of those frolicking montages so prevalent in American rom-coms. (He's also gave his actors a hell of a valentine; neither Yanne nor Jobert has ever been better.) Read full review

"Love" is a quicksilver thing that can't be held in the present tense. It is somewhere between nothing and everything, and no one pinned down more of its complexities and contradictions than Maurice Pialat, hunting barehanded for slippery truths. Read full review

A wild, furious, and genuinely unsettling ego is on display in Maurice Pialat's second proper feature. Read full review

In view of my kick-start to learn French, I will watch more French-speaking output, so today my random pick is Maurice Pialat’s second feature film, Pialat is often cited as an unsung maestro among his generation, so never to late to begin a voyage into a new auteur’s world.

WE WON’T GROW OLD TOGETHER, the title is self-evident for its glum denouement, the story centres on a couple, Jean (Yanne) and Catherine (Jobert, the future mother of Eva Green!), their suffocating relationship is undergone a sea change after 6 years together, meanwhile, Jean’s estranged wife (yes, he is still married) Françoise (Méril) is back, but don’t expect she is going to fight for Jean, it is way too melodramatic for a Gallic love battlefield, from A to Z it is a tug-of-war between Jean and Catherine.
