Georges and Anne are retired music teachers in their eighties, living in a Paris apartment full of books and a piano. When an illness enters their quiet routine, the film watches, almost entirely indoors and without ornament, what a long marriage is made of.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining late work of European art cinema, and a key example of how a director known for cold provocation could turn the same austere method toward tenderness.
Watch with intention
Watch the film as a study of space and time: how one apartment and unhurried shots turn a marriage into something you inhabit.
