Oo connait la chanson (Same Old Song)
1997, France, 2h00 min, musical, comédie dramatique, romance
Director/réalisateur: Alain Resnais
Stars(avec): Pierre Arditi, Sabine Azéma, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Agnès Jaoui, André Dussollier, Lambert Wilson
(En) Odile (Azéma), a business executive, is married to weak, furtive Claude (Arditi). In the past Odile was close to successful businessman Nicolas (Bacri), now married with kids and returning to Paris after an eight-year absence. She is looking for a new, bigger apartment from estate agent Marc (Wilson). Her younger sister Camille (Jaoui), has just completed her doctoral thesis in history and is a Paris tour guide. Simon (Dussollier) is a regular on Camille's tours because he's attracted to her, although he claims to be researching his historical radio dramas. Camille has fallen for Marc, and they begin an affair. Nicolas is also looking for an apartment, since he hopes to eventually have his family join him in Paris.
The most original feature of this "musical" is that characters break into songs as sung by the original artists, i.e. depending on the circumstances, a female character may all of a sudden start singing in a male voice and vice versa. The judicious choice of songs and variety of styles make for some very funny surprises, considering the complete and voluntary absence of transitions between the talking and singing.
(Fr) Odile et Claude forment en apparence un couple solide. Pourtant, l'éternelle indécision de Claude finit par porter sur les nerfs d'Odile, qui couve d'un oeil humide de nostalgie le retour d'un vieil amour, Nicolas. Ce dernier, qui arbore ostensiblement une réussite factice, cherche un appartement pour les siens. Simon, le vendeur auquel il s'adresse, est plus concerné par les visites guidées à travers Paris que dirige l'impérieuse Camille, soeur d'Odile, que par les affaires immobilières. Camille, de son côté, se laisse séduire par le patron de Simon, Marc, sans voir dans les attentions de Simon autre chose que le témoignage d'une amitié maladroite...
