Silver Anniversary Trailers

A couple make the decision, after twenty-five years of marriage, to live separately, so as not to fall into the trap of routine. On their wedding anniversary, Brigitte and François Dupuis announce their decision to separate, to the chagrin of their children. After twenty-five years, they chose to enjoy their life, but each on their own. Everything is going for the best. François rediscovers the life of a bachelor, meals with friends, at night with friends. Brigitte, for her part, met a movie buff whom she took as a lover. From time to time, François and Brigitte meet again. It doesn't take long for them to realize that they get along better and better ...

Reviews
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
dbdumonteil The title is borrowed from an old French folk song called "A la claire fontaine" .The chorus goes like this:" I've loved you so long ,I'll never forget you." The subject was new for the time,but 25 years after,it seems more conventional.François and Brigitte have been married for a long time,and much to their children's surprise (these children are in their twenties) ,they decide to leave each other,in order to "live their life."This movie remains watchable for the two leads,the sadly missed Jean Carmet and the luminous Marie Dubois who,suffering from multiple sclerosis ,does not appear in movies anymore.
