A broad drama that uses music and harsh political climates to span three generations of world history, LES UNS ET LES AUTRES is filmmaking at its most epic. Incorporating original music from composers Michel Legrand and Francis Lai, as well as recognizable contributions from Beethoven and Ravel, Lelouch's film is also brought to sparkling life by the impassioned performances from his star-studded cast (including James Caan, Fanny Ardant, and Geraldine Chaplin).

Reviews for Les Uns Et Les Autres
An important cinematic work which celebrates the human imagination as triumphant.
Impossible to synopsize coherently, it doesn't so much tackle themes as lay them out for scrutiny and musical embellishment.
The songs, written by Michel Legrand and Francis Lai, are addictive in the best French pop manner. A few of the dance sequences are spectacular. Only when the scene shifts to a subplot not involving music does the movie get bogged down.
At one point the narrator berates history for lacking imagination; history, as revealed here, certainly lacks taste, and its imagination could be toned up, but there's no shortage of silly entertainment.
