On July 16, the Art Cinema will screen a restored 4K version of Claude Lelouch’s «Man and Woman» to mark the film’s 60th anniversary. The post says that the screening will be shown on the large screen, with French dialogue and Russian subtitles, preceded by a video message from the director. This event brings one of the most celebrated French melodramas of the XX century back to the big screen for a new generation of viewers.

The film, released in 1966, earned a Palme d’Or at Cannes and later two Academy Awards for original screenplay and best foreign language film. It tells the story of two widowed parents, Jean‑Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimée, who meet by chance on a Normandy beach and find a chance to begin their lives anew. The restored version promises to bring the original black‑and‑white imagery back to life in crisp detail.

Viewers can expect a full‑length presentation in its original language with Russian subtitles. Before the screening, a video address from Claude Lelouch will be played, giving fans a direct glimpse of the director’s thoughts on this classic.

According to critics, the film’s realistic portrayal of love, loss and rebuilding resonates across generations. Analysts note that the movie’s simple dialogue and naturalistic direction set a template for later French cinema, and its themes remain relevant in discussions of modern relationships.
