Ilva is a woman who falls in love too quickly. Unaware and unconcerned about how her passion may be perceived, she finds herself having to live with the consequences of her actions. First, in the middle of the German occupation in Paris, she falls for a Nazi, which indirectly leads to the death of her father. For many, her relationship was interpreted as her collaboration with the Nazis. Her next love story, however, bring additional tragedy. During the liberation of France in '44, when she is violently summoned to answer for her relationship with the German, she is saved by two Americans GIs, one white and one black. She falls in love with both these men, at the same time. Her inability to choose between them, creates conflict, unhappiness and murder.
The film combines a combines history, music, and a little absurdity to treat the subject of love, passion, and destiny.

French:
Le destin flamboyant d’une femme, Ilva, qui, sa vie durant, a placé ses amours au dessus de tout et se les remémore au rythme d’un orchestre symphonique. Dans cette fresque romanesque, Ilva incarne tous les courages et les contradictions d’une femme libre. Et si ce n’était pas Dieu qui avait créé la femme mais chaque homme qu’elle a aimé?

IMDB


Celebrating his 50th year as a filmmaker, irrepressible Claude Lelouch has packed enough narrative whistles and bells for half a dozen movies into his 43rd opus, Ces amours-la…. As besotted with cinema and cinematography as ever, Lelouch starts out with a Lumiere cameraman impregnating a daring Italian woman whose daughter, Ilva (Audrey Dana), will work as an usher at a Paris movie theatre en route to falling for a charismatic Nazi officer.

Lelouch - who eluded the Gestapo as a boy by hiding in a cinema - unabashedly skims the entire 20th century through the life and loves of Ilva, whose lawyer’s oratory at her murder trial prompts too many interlocking flashbacks to count.


Lelouch delights in recreating the trenches of WWI, carnage of D-Day, cleaving of families at Auschwitz and frenetic post-war enthusiasm for jazz, with an unshakeable belief in two iconic songs sort of holding it all together. Jews, Nazis, rich boys, poor boys and the women who sleep with them all love music.

While kind of cute, Dana is no Jeanne Moreau circa Jules and Jim, one of the many classics Lelouch quotes via his story thread of two

American GI’s - one a black boxer, one a photojournalist-cum-heir -who parachute into Normandy with both falling for Ilva.

This episodic, but sincere, venture is 100% Lelouch, right up to a Lord of the Rings-calibre inability to stop tacking on endings. Viewers in the mood for fearless, careening, pastiche will get their money’s worth…others will get a headache.
