Life of RiIey (Aimer, boire et chanter) is the joyous, life-affirming final fiIm by French New Wave legend Alain 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 separateIy 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 artificiaI-looking sets, setting off actors against cross-hatched backgrounds as if inside of a candy-colored comic strip. The film is a beautifulIy realized, improbabIy upbeat confrontation with mortaIity, and a fitting capstone to a monumental career. |
