L'amour à mort (1984)

English title: Love Unto Death.

A man is given as dead and resurrects after his girlfriend summons him back.

A film in two parts; they don't have much in common except the characters, apparently, and the death-related theme. It feels like an essay, or like a melodrama which was stripped of emotional excess. The film is thematically similar to La chambre verte (both had Jean Gruault as screenwriter), and to Portrait of Jennie.

Rating: 51
