Adapted from French author Dominique Vivant’s novel Point de lendemain (No Tomorrow), The Lovers transforms into a lyrical tale of love through the black-and-white cinematography of Henri Decaë, the renowned cinematographer of the New Wave movement, and the music of Brahms. Louis Malle’s second film, distinguished by its magnificent performances that bring to life characters who know no bounds in love, stands as one of the most significant films in which lead actress Jeanne Moreau shone as a star. The Lovers won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, where it premiered.
