We Won't Grow Old Together
Directed by Maurice Pialat
Produced by Gaumont, Empire Films
A raw, melancholic portrait of a doomed affair caught in cycles of passion and destruction, where desire and incompatibility are inseparable.
Jean, a married 40-year-old filmmaker, and his young working class lover, Catherine, engage in a circular series of spectacular blow-ups and tentative reunions, their mutual desire a fire that burns them again and again.
