What's miraculous about Mélo is that the material never grows hysterical and feels blocked in or trapped by the stage.

Adapted from the 1929 play by Henri Bernstein, the film follows the evolving love triangle between a violinist's wife and his best friend. "Melo" is short for melodrama, and the film offers an intriguing exercise in that tried-and-true form. [More]

Reviews for Melo
s he grew older, Alain Resnais revealed the wistful sentimentalist behind the formalist pathfinder of Hiroshima Mon Amour and Muriel.
It dishes out dollops of pain from among the Brahms' sonatas, and melodramatics that were dated long ago.
