The Lovely Month of May

1963 · 165 min

A long, thoughtful drift through Parisian voices, by turns wry and melancholy, asking strangers what happiness means.

Tagline: So, how are you feeling?
Overview: Candid interviews of ordinary people on the meaning of happiness, an often amorphous and inarticulable notion that evokes more basic and fundamentally egalitarian ideals of self-betterment, prosperity, tolerance, economic opportunity, and freedom.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, satirical and warm. Slow-burning and demanding.
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
