A musical for people who don't like musicals!
It's not perfect, but it's a fun, relevant story. The characters are well written and for the most part, well-developed. The songs are sweet, but at times I thought they sounded too similar. This may change with future viewings (I did love Je n'aime que toi from the first time, though). I really enjoyed it., it was really incredible, but as I said, not perfect. But it works just fine for me.
Simply Musically awesome..!
Most likely to be my favourite French film for a very long time. I first saw this one back in 2009 and after multiple re-watches, it still maintains its magic. With a fabulous cast, captivating soundtrack and mesmerizing plot, Les Chansons D'amour is a great film for existing Francophiles and those new to its world of cinema!
Favourite songs include 'La Bastille', 'Au Park', 'Si Tard' and 'J'Ai Cru Entendre'.
I liked the songs, ESPECIALLY the imagery of the lyrics. The plot was messy, but I liked that too. Can't say I absolutely loved it overall, though ): But this is what I expected from les amours imaginaires (and didn't get).
Les Chansons d'Amour is a musical whose songs are sung by young people while experiencing their feelings for each other. Thus what we see in the scene are natural numbers that verges on a dialogue. Numbers by the way are extremely well executed by the actors. Their characters fall in love and fall out for one another, with the confusion, mistakes and this leads.

une merveille d'intelligence et de beauté
some catchy songs, and I have a soft spot for louis garrel. If anyway is going to be caught in a love triangle (or two) it's louis garrel. It looks good, and no, these people cannot sing, but then again, it's not about that. It's an anti love song, love song. The whole thing. Touche.
I'm in love with everyone in this film, it's pure poetry.
Everything is simple and moving.
I watched it dozen times and always in mood to watch one more.
Pourquoi viens tu si tard ?
This movie is amazing. The songs, the cinematography, the actors all get an A+. The songs are very simple, and yet so beautiful. Louis Garrel & Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet: je t'aime.
I'm going to keep commenting until that persons post goes away
Vraiment beau. I love this movie so much. Garrel is so talented. Chara Mastroiann was also wonderful.
I loved the songs more than the story haha.
A wonderfully off kilter, tragicomic musical about life, love and death that somehow, and quite miraculously, never seems forced. With its elegant cinematography accompanied by perfectly simple songs, unique story and characters with depth this film shows that musicals can be quite a bit more than fluff. A very fresh and great looking film that reminded me a lot of the Lubitsch touch, and the energy in Godard's Une Femme est une Femme.
such a terrible movie. a waste of my time :|
The last sentence was 'aww'. Very pleasant
As-tu déjà aimé pour la beauté du geste?
Truffaut e Demy reencarnados?
Love me less but love for a long time (end title).
How can ANYONE like this awful, awful movie? Not even the more-than-godly beauty of Louis Garrel was able to save such garbage.
zi tu de nu e wow filmul asta? si louis garrel..aah
These days it's rare to see people smoking cigarettes in films. :)
kinda interesting musical.
No one does musicals better than the french. Beautiful movie.
Utterly adore this film. A teriffic tribute to Jacques Demy (in a musical style simpler than Legrand's) and a marvelous study of grief, regret, extended families and smokin' hot teenage boys. The climactic make-out session between Louis Garrel and Gregoire LePrince-Ringuet is one of the most romantic and sexy scenes in all cinema. And at the end my new favorite line: "Love me less, but love me for a long time."
