Un jour avec vous

About This Movie

Un jour avec vous is this charming blend of comedy and music from 1952 that feels like stepping into a whimsical daydream. The plot revolves around young Mathilde, who’s infatuated with a singer, Philippe, and her antics to snag his photo are both endearing and slightly absurd. There’s a lightness to the pacing that lets the musical numbers breathe, and the performances bring a certain levity to the mix. The film's atmosphere is nostalgic, evoking a simpler time, with its playful use of practical effects and delightful musical interludes. It’s not just a love story; it’s a playful exploration of youthful obsession and the absurd lengths we go for love.

Un jour avec vous has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with prints being scarce and often hard to find. It initially released on 16mm and later made its way onto VHS, but those copies are now quite rare too. Enthusiasts appreciate the film not just for its nostalgic charm but also for the unique blend of comedy and music that characterizes the era, making it a curious piece for anyone exploring vintage French cinema.
