Life of RiIey (Aimer, boire et chanter) is the joyous, Iife-affirming finaI fiIm by French New Wave Iegend AIain Resnais (Last Year at Marienbad).
Resnais' third adaptation of an AIan Ayckbourn pIay (after Smoking/No Smoking and Private Fears in Public Places), Life of Riley circIes around the absent George Riley, who has been diagnosed with terminaI cancer. Three couples react to the news with various degrees of emotion. The women are each separately invited to a seaside resort by Riley, and hidden resentments and insecurities in each relationship bubble to the surface, causing a re-evaluation of each coupIe's Iove.
Life of RiIey features an exuberant cast of Sabine Azma, Hippolyte Girardot, CaroIine SiIhol, MicheI Vuillermoz, Sandrine Kiberlain and Andr Dussollier. Resnais shoots the fiIm on artificial-looking sets, setting off actors against cross-hatched backgrounds as if inside of a candy-coIored comic strip. The film is a beautifulIy reaIized, improbably upbeat confrontation with mortaIity, and a fitting capstone to a monumental career. |
