| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud |
|---|
NELLY AND MONSIEUR ARNAUD is the last movie of Claude Sautet that he co-wrote and directed in 1995. The picture earned the Louis Delluc prize in 1995 and earned 11 nominations (it won 2) for the French Academy Awards.
Michel Serrault, a former judge and businessman, hires Emmanuelle Béart as a secretary. Serrault dictates his memoirs to the young woman who's just left her husband. Between the old man who's become disillusioned and cynical over the years and the young woman, a feeling of mutual confidence, of tenderness and of unspoken love will slowly grow. When the book is written, both will be changed.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
