Paris, 1981. The winds of change are blowing on election night and the French storm the streets, elated. But Élisabeth (Charlotte Gainsbourg) struggles to share the general mood of optimism. Her marriage is coming to an end and she will now have to support her family. She is distraught, and her father and teenage children are worried that her tears simply will not dry. But what if listening to her emotions could help her to start filling the blank page of her future? What if she were to write a letter on a whim to the host of her favourite radio programme? Or invite a homeless girl into her house? What would happen if she were to make the kind of gestures that actually change lives? In this follow-up to the beautiful Amanda, Mikhaël Hers directs his hypersensitive gaze at the 1980s and the seemingly mundane moments in one family’s life that shape indelible memories. A large number of characters populates this nostalgic saga of self-invention. The director honours their vulnerability and kindness in a way that stands out in a cinematic landscape more often fascinated by disillusioned antiheroes. This is film at its most profoundly intimate and mesmerising, the kind that, when we reflect on how we function as a society, gives us an idea of why love matters.
所有人都在流动，在夜色里，在晚风中，恬淡，温润，清冷，干净。生活细密，有诉不尽的怅惘，但又无疑充满希望。这其中的每个人都是每个人的过客，但每个人其实都陪伴了每个人的一生，有的人闯入又离开，但也成为一些人内心的印痕。羡慕其中的母亲与子女松散又亲密的关系，这样的关系真的存在吗？那是一个烟草可以出现在公共空间的时代，一个穿着蓝色牛仔夹克的时代，一个连衣裙里有着大垫肩的时代，一个音乐要存储在黑胶里的时代，...
把这部归为女性电影肯定会招来反感，但我内心很难避免从女性角度去看待此片，很希望我到了女主这个年纪，倘若遇到这样的变故，也可以坚强撑过来，面对子女的长大，可以懂得放手，面对陌生女孩的困境，可以伸出援手，另外最重要的是，即便到了四十岁乃至五十岁，也要不失优雅，享受音乐，享受爱情，享受生活，永远不要失去重新开始的勇气。
有些伤感，有些温柔，又有些私人。好舒服的一部电影。看到他们要去看《鸟人》，结果去晚了，只好跑去看《圆月映花都》，墙上还贴着《德州巴黎》的海报，真是好时光。
多愛電影的人才能拍出這樣的電影⋯
不乏动人之处，关于侯麦、里维特、帕斯卡尔和杜拉斯等等的迷影插曲让人会心一笑，但与旧影像结合的复古回响倒不那么有效，整体设计上依旧呈现着剧本电影的无力感，来自角色写作内部的累赘阻止了真正的观看发生。
