#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 20: French spoken on #FrenchLanguageDay

A Walloon language professor and his French set designer fiancée are at an impasse. While his Flemish students vocally protest against more Walloon influence at their uni, the couple - who superficially speak the same #language, #French - struggles to find the right words. They meet, part ways, then find each other again on a train that at morning turns out to be standing still in the middle of nowhere. The man, now without her, disembarks and with two acquaintances who also were on that train tries to find out where he and she are. André Delvaux's Un soir, un train (1968) is a masterpiece about finding the right language in a fractured world.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 18: Sports car racing on #InternationalSportsCarRacingDay

A man and a woman meet and fall in love. The woman – Anouk Aimée – still mourns the loss of her stuntman husband, while the man – Jean-Louis Trintignant – is alone since his partner took her life, incapable of dealing with his near-fatal crash at #LeMans. #Trintignant came from a family obsessed with race car driving and was an avid amateur driver himself. His uncle, the #GrandPrix racer Maurice Trintignant, can be seen driving a #Maserati Tipo 151/1 during the race scene.

A deceptively simple #film by Claude Lelouch, with an equally breezy soundtrack by Francis Lai. This is Un homme et une femme (1966).

A late-ish #FilmDinner once again. And a rewatch. Again.

Watching André Delvaux's Un soir, un train [One Night… a Train] (BE/FR, 1968), starring the grand Yves Montand and Anouk Aimée, and based on the novella by Johan Daisne. Both writer and directer worked on De man die zijn haar kort liet knippen [The Man Who Had His Hair Cut Short] (1965), one of the most sublime films I've watched this year so far.
