Summary of Same Old Song
Four years before Baz Luhrman's MOULIN ROUGE, Alain Resnais made this musical love story using contemporary pop songs. The songs are used in a style similar to MOULIN ROUGE as they are the portal through which the innermost feelings of love are released. Characters lip-sync to popular tunes of the day to express their emotional states. Each character is also assigned a song that acts as an anthem for them in this clever musical comedy. The story involves a Parisian woman (Sabine Azema) desperately in search of a more spacious apartment. Her sister offers the assistant of her new lover, a real estate agent. Azema not only finds living space through the agency, but romance as well.
