Lovers - Criterion Collection

The Criterion Collection, A Continuing Series of Important Classic and Contemporary Films.

Louis Malle unveiled the natural beauty of Jeanne Moreau in his breakthrough, Elevator To The Gallows. With his follow-up, the scandalous smash The Lovers (Les amants), he made her a star once and for all.

A deeply felt and luxuriously filmed fairy tale for grown-ups, perched on the edge between classical and New Wave cinemas, The Lovers presents Moreau as a restless bourgeois wife whose eye wanders from both her husband and her lover to an attractive passing stranger (Jean-Marc Bory). Thanks to its frank sexuality, The Lovers caused quite a stir, being censored and attacked for obscenity around the world. If today its shock has worn off, its glistening sensuality and seductive storytelling haven´t aged a day.
