Love at Sea

Love at Sea (L'Amour à la mer) is a 1965 French comedy drama written and directed by Guy Gilles. Shot in French and running roughly 77 minutes, it counts among the director's earliest feature works, made as he was developing the intimate, poetic approach that marked his later films. The principal cast includes Jean-Claude Brialy, Jean-Pierre Léaud and Juliette Gréco, while celebrated stars of the era such as Alain Delon and Romy Schneider turn up in smaller roles. Gilles himself also appears on screen. Released in France in 1965, the picture unfolds around the themes of love and the sea suggested by its title. Its ensemble of familiar faces from the French film world of the period lends it the character of a cinematic gathering, and it remains a notable early entry in Gilles's filmography.
