Mr. Lelouch, of course, gives amour its due in And Now My Love, but this is not nearly so impressive as his perceptive, often touching portraits of three eras and their principals.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
If Lelouch's sensibilities are too flimsy to substantiate his quasi-epic ambitions, the film nevertheless offers some cozy comforts and more than a few inside filmmaking jokes.
A film so sentimental and implausible that its emotional indulgence almost seems avant-garde.
