IMDb profile |
L'important c'est d'aimer was the breakthrough movie in France for Polish filmmaker Andrzej Żuławski. It tells the story of a passionate love story between Nadine Chevalier, a B-List actress (Schneider) and Servais Mont, a photographer (Testi) in the violent and unforgiving French show biz.
In 1974, Żuławski coadapted and directed this movie, based on the novel by Christopher Frank La nuit américaine (no relation with the François Truffaut movie). The success in France was such - it was featuring very popular actress Romy Schneider and French singer Jacques Dutronc - that it allowed Żuławski to come back to Poland.
Romy Schneider obtained the first César Award for Best Actress for this role.
