Romantic longing has provided the cinema with some of its most glorious and idealistic movies Casablanca and Brief Encounter are films with an unabashed, unironic passionate flame at their centre. Movies such as Gone With the Wind and Doctor Zhivago lent something grand and epic to romantic love, but it was perhaps the much loved weepie An Affair to Remember that did the most to introduce us to the more domestic idea of the chick flick or the date movie the romantic film adored by women and tolerated by their husbands and boyfriends. The romantic comedy was a further refinement, almost invented in its modern sense by Woody Allen and revived by Rob Reiner with his smash hit, When Harry Met Sally, a success that has spawned a thousand sucrose imitations. Wong Kar wais In the Mood For Love is probably the most potent, old fashioned romance of recent times. Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung have that seductively heartbreaking self sacrifice shown by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman or Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. Love will never go out of fashion. Henri Serre, Oskar Werner and Jeanne Moreau in Jules et Jim. Photograph Courtesy of BFI. Jules et Jim was the biggest box office success the French New Wave ever enjoyed. When it opened in Paris in January 1. In America, two young men saw it Robert Benton and David Newman and they began to write a script that would become Bonnie and Clyde. Although set in the era of the first world war, its sexual manners were an indicator of the 6. Catherine Jeanne Moreau in love with and loved by two men at least Jules, a German, played by Oskar Werner, and Jim, a Frenchman, played by Henri Serre. The way Jules et Jim emerged was a tribute to Moreau and to Truffauts obsession with the idea that women were magical. Its an early dramatisation of feminist principles, but its also the portrait of a bipolar personality drawn to self destruction. For Truffaut, it was a perfect balancing act between wry observation and sentimental involvement with his own characters. The period material, the sets and costumes, work very well in a wide screen format, but in truth its the lethally mercurial temperament of Moreau that holds it all together. She was at her peak in the early 6. Along with its less famous sequel, Two English Girls, this is Truffaut at his best. David Thomson Helena Bonham Carter in Room with a View Photograph Everett Collection Rex Feature. Few collaborations are so distinctive that the names of those involved come to denote a genre, rather than just a credit. A Room With a View, the first of director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchants EM Forster adaptations, was shot before the term Merchant Ivory had become an insult watch it today and youll blush to have ever smirked at the cliche. This is incredibly fresh and arresting film making moving and amusing, swooningly romantic and socially ferocious nothing less than a full frontal in every way assault on your soul. Lucy Honeychurch Helena Bonham Carter is on a Baedeker led tour of Florence with punctilious cousin Charlotte Maggie Smith when she encounters, at their pensione, free thinking Mr Emerson Denholm Elliott and his dreamy son, George Julian Sands. Through a series of bloody physical confrontations and, worse yet, sticky etiquette breaches, Lucys desire for emotional freedom starts to bubble, coming to the boil when George kisses her in a cornfield. But Charlotte witnessed the snog, so Lucy is whisked back to Surrey, where she gets engaged to the horribly priggish Cecil Vyse Daniel Day Lewis, to the polite distaste of her family, and the Rev Beebe Simon Callow, uncharacteristically subtle. Then the Emersons reappear What might have been starched and talky in other hands comes out of the wash alive with spring and spirit. The botched embrace between Lucy and Cecil, and the heartbreaking moment when he, after being rejected, puts his boots back on, are once seen, never forgotten. Smiths Charlotte so funny as a curmudgeonly drag The ground will do for me, she says, as cushions are assigned on a picnic, I havent had rheumatism for years. And if I do feel a twinge, I shall stand up is just tragic alone, as Lucy might well have been, had her story not had such a happy ending. The final scene, a ravishing in a room, with a view, as the bells of Florence chime out, would leave only a stone unmoved. Catherine Shoard Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Photograph Ronald Grant Archive. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Girl gets fed up with boy. Girl erases all memories of boy from her mind in a dubious brain zapping procedure. Boy finds out and does the same. This is a romantic movie, Charlie Kaufman style. It takes its title from a 1. Alexander Pope and charts the side of love that movies usually try to ignore the arguments, the boredom, the irritating habits that drive couples apart and the dreadful, stilted moments that accompany a break up. Love Actually, it aint. As you would expect from the writer of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, this is not the story of a doomed relationship told in a straightforward fashion. Joel Barish is a withdrawn, greyish man, played with uncharacteristic restraint by Jim Carrey. Clementine Kruczynski a brilliant Kate Winslet is free spirited, reckless and prone to dying her hair blue. When they meet on a train travelling through wintry Long Island in the films opening scenes, its as if theyve never met before but of course they have. The strange attraction that draws them together is down to the fact that, until very recently, they were lovers. Their forgetting is the work of Lacuna Inc, a shady New York company that liberates its clients from unwanted memories. Eternal Sunshine was Kaufmans second collaboration with Michel Gondry. The resourceful French director proved the perfect match to Kaufmans freewheeling script, which puts us inside Joels memories as they are being stripped away. The films concept that a couple can delete each other after a painful break up so they can live on in blissful ignorance seems at first a pessimistic take on love. But chinks of light begin to shine through as Joels memories of Clementine are systematically sought out and zapped. He recalls that, before the unhappiness set in, there were genuinely happy moments too and he recaptures too late what made them fall for each other in the first place. In spite of all its pitfalls, Kaufman still makes love seem like the most precious thing in the world. Killian Fox Hannah and Her Sisters Photograph Ronald Grant Archive. That Chekhovian title may have promised Woody Allen at his most pretentious, but this 1. The film shuffles interconnecting storylines concerning three Manhattan sisters the warm, well meaning Hannah Mia Farrow is married to the bumbling Elliot Michael Caine, who is in turn attracted to her sister, Lee Barbara Hershey. As an affair begins between the two, Lees own relationship with the tormented artist Frederick Max von Sydow comes under strain, and light is brought to an otherwise dark canvas by Hannahs ex husband, fussbudget TV producer Mickey Allen, who becomes involved with Hannahs other sister, the jittery Holly Dianne Wiest. So what was it about Hannah that made it so successful The balance of comedy and drama is deftly maintained, and theres a palatable, soapy aspect to Elliot and Lees affair. The film, with its chapter headings, aspires to a novelistic structure, each part favouring a different character or storyline. And the performances are uniformly subtle, especially from Caine who won the Oscar for best supporting actor and the underrated Farrow, who was then an Allen regular as well as his off screen partner. Indeed, Farrow brings genuine mystery to a nurturing figure who may not be as saintly as she seems.
