4.0 out of 5 stars A story of the power of love 28 Feb 2008
By Bluebell TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
A young Jeanne Moreau is wonderful as a bored and neglected wife being transformed from a superficial social butterfly into a woman willing to sacrifice all for love. In some ways the story is unbelievable but the force of her central performance is so convincing that it carries the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars remarkable film making 3 May 2000
By amos linenberg - Published on Amazon.com
I have seen this film when it first came out some 40 years ago and I will never forget it. It proves that a love making act can be presented with an autmost purity and sensitivity, and without the need for pornography.I cannot wait for it to be released again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This film has stayed in my mind for 35 years. 26 July 1999
By David - Published on Amazon.com
I saw this film along with a Yiddish stage show in a theatre on south beach in Miami many years ago. It was difficult at the time, to really enjoy the movie since it was inappropriate for that particular audience as they were laughing and giggling at the very serious and sensitive scenes due to their embarrassment.I loved the movie and think about it every time I hear strains of Brahms Double Concerto, (repeated beautifully in many love scenes)"The Lovers" is a French tale of adultery without today's nudity and language - but oh so very sexy! I would recommend this movie for anyone who is a fan of Louis Malle. His direction of Jeanne Moreau is superb. I am eagerly awaiting the re-issue of this film so that I may own it and enjoy watching it again and again.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's the music 20 Aug 2004
By Santiago Lafcadio - Published on Amazon.com
It's the Brahms first sextet, Opus 18, that's used in this movie, not his Double Concerto, as reported by an earlier reviewer. This exquisite Brahms piece provides one of the greatest soundtracks in the history of film. (Another is the Miles Davis original soundtrack for an earlier Louis Malle film, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud.)
