Films
In this film there’s theatre, puns and wordplays, Roland Vincent’s music, songs, disguises and melodrama à la Douglas Sirk. The story follows Geneviève Garland, an actress who decides to reject the leading role of a theatre play, abandon her husband and dedicate her time exclusively to her child in the attempt of fleeing the harsh difficulties of life. In Un Soupçon d’Amour, Paul Vecchiali brings to the screen a piece revealing many of his stylistic obsessions collected over the years of his cinematographic journey, a fruitful expedition embarked on in the 1960’s.

Paul Vecchiali
Paul Vecchiali, born in 1930 in Ajaccio, is a filmmaker whose work has always stood independently from the movements of his time, although they often evoke the characteristic nostalgia of 1930’s French cinema. Starting in 1961, he is the author of an oeuvre spanning over five decades and has directed circa 50 films. Vecchiali worked with Cahiers du Cinéma and produced the first works of Jean Eustache and Chantal Akerman before beginning to direct his own. In an experimental and autobiographical tone, his first big success was the comedy-drama Femmes, femmes (1974) and his most recent feature Train de vies ou les voyages d’Angélique was released in 2018.
