Je Vous Aime (English: I Love You All) is a 1980 French romance film directed by Claude Berri. Its cast comprises notable actors and actresses like Jean Louis Trintignant, Catherine Deneuve, Gérard Depardieu and Serge Gainsbourg. It was first released in 1980 and it was shown in the US in 1981.[1]
Plot
Alice is a journalist in her late thirties, and the divorced mother of a teenage boy. While professionnally successful, she struggles to find a suitable life partner.
As she and Claude are about to break up, she starts reminiscing about her past relationships: Simon, an older, irascible singer who involves her in his artistic endeavors and with whom she constantly fights; Patrick, a young saxophone player who naively conquers her heart with his doe-eyed glance while accompanying one of Simon's songs; Julien, a timid, middle-aged gentleman who falls for Alice while helping her push her stalled car to a roadside during a thunderstorm. The film follows a non-linear narrative as it recounts Alice's romances with those men and how their relationships ultimately failed.
