Claude Sautet's romantic drama César et Rosalie (Cesar and Rosalie) stars Romy Schneider as Rosalie, a beautiful young woman happily married to successful businessman César (Yves Montand). One day, Rosalie's former flame David (Sami Frey) appears and attempts to win her back. Cesar reacts with a jealous intensity never before seen by Rosalie, and because of that, she returns to David. She remains conflicted as to with whom she should be, but eventually, one of the men does something which resolves the situation. Cיsar et Rosalie contains one of the first screen appearances of French actress Isabelle Huppert.





Cesar and Rosalie
Romy Schneider gives a profound performance of a woman torn between men and her personal freedom, her personal independence. She represents a simple woman with whom mostly female audience may identify. Her feelings are changeable but her life heads to be straightforward. She fails many times but isn't it something most of us experience? Romy does a terrific job in the role, reaches the ultimate ability to feel the role to the very core. She once again proves how great actress she was, how flexible, how dynamic, how talented! I also liked Yves Montand as Cesar, a furious, jealous, nervous, sometimes loving authoritative man. His fury ends with calmness, his jealousy with forgiveness, his enemies with friends. Mr Montand portrays his character in a dynamic way and truly becomes the second great star of the movie.

Ella, yo y el otro
Rosalie es una mujer divorciada con una hija pequeña que divide su tiempo entre su familia y César, el hombre del que parece estar enamorada. Una día Rosalie conocerá a David y su plácida vida se verá alterada por su capacidad a la hora de elegir entre los dos hombres.





Rosalie est mariée avec César, ferrailleur, venu du peuple, que son travail et son acharnement ont amené à la réussite matérielle. Rosalie a eu un enfant de sa liaison avec Antoine, aujourd'hui un peintre qui a réussi. Elle a aussi beaucoup aimé David... Or voilà que David est revenu et que Rosalie s'aperçoit qu'elle l'aime toujours. Mais elle aime aussi César qui, dès qu'il est averti, met tout en oeuvre pour défendre son bien : l'atelier de David, où il crée ses bandes dessinées, va le premier subir les foudres d'un César enragé...
