Servais ,a photographer (Fabio Testi) meets Nadine ( Romy Schneider), a B-list actress and he falls in love with her. He'll try with any cost to help her with her career.
The movie talks about love as a drug. Servais is in love with Nadine who is his drug. She means happiness and at the same time suffering to him. The film describes a very beautiful love story in a very cruel and dark environment . Movie has nothing to do with the usual American romantic movies. The spectators will see and understand the soul of the main characters.
The interpretations are amazing. Romy Schneider is a great actress and she is proving it again in this movie. The first five minutes of the film are outstanding. She doesn't need to talk , her face says everything !! The other actors give their best too.
Zulawski makes a very special film which has his stamp. He creates his own world based on how society is structured.
I think that L'important c'est d'aimer is a film that either you hate it or love it, there is no middle way. Although, it is a must see for every cinephile!!
