It is a wisp of a film, but made with such elegance and sincerity that it does beguile.
Beneath Garrel’s unassuming, subdued style lies a deceptively powerful study of fidelity, lensed in stark, moody monochrome and featuring a compelling screen debut from Louise Chevillotte.
Director Garrel probes away at such subjects as romantic longing and sexual jealousy in a playful way.
Packs a whole lot of nuance and romantic consideration into its bracingly curt run time.
An emotionally distraught woman moves in with her father and his new live-in girlfriend in a subtle drama oozing with sex, jealousy and romance.
Shot in lustrous black and white, Lover For A Day is an elegant reflection on the meaning of fidelity, revealing the characters in what could be their true colours.
