Live the life (Original title: Vivre pour vivre ) is a French - Italian film drama directed by Claude Lelouch from 1967.
action
The marriage of renowned Parisian television reporter Robert Colomb has gotten into trouble. Robert tends to comfort himself over indifference and habit with attractive one-day partners, while his wife Catherine suffers but perseveres. It was only when Robert cheated on Catherine with the American model Candice on one of this long-desired trip to Amsterdam , which was supposed to celebrate an anniversary of her wedding, that Catherine gives up and begins a new life.
Robert and Candice soon have nothing more to say to each other. She is leaving for the United States again, and he is going to Vietnam to do a big report. Inwardly and outwardly, at the end of his strength, he returns remorseful. Catherine puts love above pride and forgives it. It does not apply to Roberts' dubiously casual view of life, which is expressed in the title of the film: live to live.
Reviews
"Creatively attractive by director Lelouch, but overall non-binding, although the connection between private history and reportage-like chapters from Vietnam and the Congo is not very convincing," said the lexicon of international films .
The conclusion of Evangelischer Filmbeobachter was: “In his […] film, Claude Lelouch devotes far less care to a triangular story, a credible portrayal of life and a justifiable view of life than to the optical sophistication. For adults. "
Awards (selection)
The film was named Best Foreign Language Film at the 1968 Golden Globe Awards . The production was also nominated for an Oscar in 1968 in the same category .
