Re: The Films of 2019
This would actually be the second sequel to the film. Also in a way Oliviera did it earlier with Belle Toujours with a greater space between installments.

It’s kind of amazing how many French actors and actresses popular in the sixties are still with us. Must be something in l’eau over there

Serendipitously the VHS Video Vault channel on YouTube has just put up the BBC's Film 86 edition from that year's Cannes Film Festival, which features a brief mention and behind the scenes footage of A Man and A Woman: 20 Years Later!

Re: The Films of 2019
Good catch I forgot about this one. The filmmaker was older but the gap was 1967-2006 for Oliveira (which was a cryptic sequel), and 1966-2018 (filmed in sept 2018 actually) for Lelouch
Lelouch is editing it right now and it should be ready for may (maybe Cannes). But if either Lelouch, Aimée or Trintignant are unhappy with the film they would shelf it.
I don't know if it's in l'eau or in the wine

Re: Sans titre Un homme et une femme sequel (Claude Lelouch, 2019)
Here is the link to the 20min video (I wonder if it's geo-restricted outside France)
There is a bit about his short film "C'était un rendez-vous" (1976) where he himself drive his camera-mounted mercedes half-way across Paris in 9 min from Porte Dauphine to Montmartre in one take.

But where is the original film on Blu-ray with English subtitles? I hope it will be available soon.

Re: The Films of 2019
The sequel gap for Lelouch is actually only 1986-2019, since the first sequel was already an extremely delayed one.BenoitRouilly wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 4:05 pmGood catch I forgot about this one.

Re: Les plus belles années d'une vie (Claude Lelouch, 2019)
I know. But the breaking record is how far apart are 2 films recording the same actors in the same roles (directed by the same filmmaker). What's impressive is how much have aged the actors in real life (not with prostetics and make up). The fact there is another installment in between doesn't cancel the record.
We may hope for a record breaking with Boyhood 2 in 2055.
P.S. Thanks for finding out about the title of Lelouch's film

I haven't seen this one. So in 2019, the 63 Up is out. That's 63-7=56 years apart, beating Lelouch only by 4 years.
It is a documentary though, and Un Homme et Une Femme, and Boyhood are fiction... shouldn't they be in a different category?

Re: Les plus belles années d'une vie (Claude Lelouch, 2019)
Well. I was just joking... So I agree the documentary beat the fiction.
But the rational would be that it is easier to film real people playing their own role, even in their old age, than to find actors who still work and are willing to return to their old role. Especially because of what Domino alluded to above, that aging actors are scarce because they don't want to continue playing and because the industry doesn't make room for them...

Swings and roundabouts, I guess, as a professional actor will generally show up if you pay them. Not so easy with real people, as Michael Apted has found out on multiple occasions.

Why do they have a separate category for documentaries at the Oscars then?
