The film is about a man and a woman who are losing their memory after an emotional trauma. You will discover this in your own time, the important is Claude Lelouch is a celebrated French director but unfortunately in the US he is part of the Indie crowd, "artistic French movie, get drunk before watching", which is a most unfair statement.
Because his films are too often shot in French, he is blocked by the invisible subtitle wall for 90% of US audiences. With "And now... Ladies and Gentlemen" he directs a very good Jeremy Irons and a very talented Patricia Kaas, in English s'il vous plait.
The basics of Lelouch style (broken time line and multiple threads) are there, but in a softer way than in most of his films, which makes this film a very nice "My First Lelouch" for audiences who are looking for more talented scripts and emotion than your prepacked Hollywood brew. Patricia Kaas delivers a performance in acting and singing (the soundtrack is her album "Piano Bar", a tribute to Lounge music).
