Add to a movie listLa Chamade (English: Heartbeat) is a 1968 French romantic drama film written and directed by Alain Cavalier and starring Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, and Roger Van Hool. Based on the 1965 novel La Chamade by Françoise Sagan, the film is about a beautiful woman who is mistress to a rich, good-hearted businessman who provides for all her material needs, but for whom she has no true love. When she meets a charming young man her own age, she falls in love and soon becomes pregnant with his child. After Charles helps her through her crisis, her feelings for the young man gradually fades and she returns to the good-hearted businessman who has patiently waited for her. La Chamade was filmed on location in Paris and Nice.
Synopsis
A woman and a poor artist begin an affair and eventually move in together, but the woman cannot get used to his life, his working-class existence. She leaves her lover to return to her relationship with a man of means. Ostensibly, she is rejecting her lover because she feels stifled by his position in society. But the class differences are metaphor for the quality of the love, with a woman deciding to be with a man who loves her for who she is rather than as an object of affection, merely the focus of a selfish love. She wants to be with the one who doesn't ask her to change.Actors

Dans ce film, vous verrez un mouchoir de femme noué au poignet d'un homme, une tête de cochon bien rasée, des adolescents plus inventifs que leurs aînés pour lutter contre l'oppression... Mais vous n'aurez à entendre aucun dialogue. Les mots ne préparent pas, n'accompagnent pas, ne commentent pas l'action. Il ne s'agit pas d'un film muet, mais seulement de ne retenir pour le spectacle cinématographique que les moments de la vie où l'on ne parle pas. Le spectateur y trouvera peut-être une plus grande liberté d'interprétation et, nous l'espérons, un plaisir particulier.
