Free Music Notes for Un Homme et une Femme
Free Music Review: The Real Deal
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the original soundtrack of the movie "A Man and a Woman", in French. The "Best of A Man and a Woman" album by Francis Lai is a recording in English, and has nothing to do with the movie. This version has the wonderful, romantic music that made the movie a winner of the Palm D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Yes, the price is outrageous (a rare import?), but I looked and could not find this anywhere else. You gotta pay for art.Free Music Review: Expensive and Worth It
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are in love with the film and are such a romantic, this CD is worth buying despite of its price. Perhaps somehow try to make it become a gift from somebody to yourself.Free Music Review: Buy it for Samba
Hit: 3 Stars
The single track "Samba Saravah" is worth the price of admission. I have the original on vinyl buried deep in a stack and of all those records this single track is the keeper. Steep price to acquire a single track to put on my iPod but I may have to do it.Free Music Review: Get this the original version
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the original version, in French, same as the 12 inch vinyl LP released in 1968.
Although more expensive than the later version which is sung in French-accented English ("the" pronounced "ze" and so on), THIS is the one you should buy.
Even if you don't speak a word of French or even when listening to the instrumental cuts, the passion, love, tenderness and power of this CD shines through.
Free Music Review: Franci Lai....in French cinema
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was actually a gift from a friend traveling in France 10 years ago. Even then it was expensive ($40). Back in 1994, there were no DVDs of this film. I could only settle for a dubbed VHS tape (terrible, terrible version by the way...you must view and hear the original French version to appreciate the beauty and spontaneity of this film). I saw "Une Homme et Une Femme" during my teens on Mexican TV. Fortunately, it was subtitled and I was able to grasp the sounds, and melodic nuances which make it so unique and timeless. Francis Lai is a prolific Chinese-French melodist. He is a contemporary of Morriconne. Lai adds his own personal and distinctive style to his musical repertoire. The theme from the film "Bilitis" is also a Francis Lai score. If like, me you find the French and Italian melodists of the 60's-70's irresistible, this CD is a "must have". It's a shame that a prolific musician like Lai is known so little in the U.S., inspite of an extensive career. Enjoy it....really! Worth every penny.. I hope Amazon will make more of his work available.
