A musical comedy from one of the
Nouvelle Vague's most rigorous aesthetes? Densely plotted and endearingly neurotic, SAME OLD SONG is Alain Resnais's tribute to the work of brilliant British tele-playwright Dennis Potter (THE SINGING DETECTIVE). As befits Resnais's past work, the film is
an intricately structured piece, but its good-natured charm and likeable cast of characters ensure that it will strike a chord in the hearts of lovestruck city-dwellers everywhere.
In present-day Paris, tour guide Camille (Agnes Jaoui) encounters Nicolas (Jean-Pierre Bacri), who's newly arrived in town, and is interested in meeting with his ex-girlfriend, Camille's sister...
