Un homme et une femme A Man and a Woman] (Claude Lelouch, 1966)

Jean-Louis Trintignant driving a Matra single-seater at the Autodrome de Montlhéry [caption taken from a photo from the same session]. Behind him his uncle Maurice in a Maserati Tipo 151/1. DP: Claude Lelouch.
A man and a woman meet and fall in love. The woman – Anouk Aimée – still mourns the loss of her stuntman husband, while the man – Jean-Louis Trintignant – is alone since his partner took her life, incapable of dealing with his near-fatal #crash at #LeMans.
“It's foolish to refuse happiness.”
#Trintignant came from a family obsessed with race car driving and was an avid amateur driver himself. His uncle, the #GrandPrix racer Maurice Trintignant, can be seen driving a #Maserati Tipo 151/1 during the race scene.
A deceptively simple film by Claude Lelouch, with an equally breezy soundtrack by Francis Lai.
