Description

Louis Malle unveiled the natural beauty of Jeanne Moreau in his breakthrough Elevator to the Gallows. With his follow-up the scandalous smash The Lovers (Les amants) he made her a star once and for all. A deeply felt and luxuriously filmed fairy tale for grown-ups perched on the edge between classical and New Wave cinemas The Lovers presents Moreau as a restless bourgeois wife whose eye wanders from both her husband and her lover to an attractive passing stranger (Jean-Marc Bory). Thanks to its frank sexuality The Lovers caused quite a stir being censored and attacked for obscenity around the world. If today its shock has worn off its glistening sensuality and seductive storytelling haven't aged a day.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:New restored high-definition digital transfer of the complete uncensored versionSelection of archival interviews with Louis Malle actors Jeanne Moreau and Jose Luis de Villalonga and writer Louise de VilmorinGallery of promotional material from the U.S. theatrical releaseNew and improved English subtitle translationPLUS: A new essay by film historian Ginette VincendeauSystem Requirements:Running Time: 90 minutes Language: French Subtitles: EnglishFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE Rating: NR UPC: 715515029629 Manufacturer No: CC1751DDVD
