Salomé Lerner just finished writing an autobiograpy. She goes to a TV show called "Apostrophes", hosted by French TV showman Bernard Pivot. Pivot then imagines a film that could be created from her gripping story. A film entirely made of music because after seeing the young pianist Erik Berchot, Salomé believes seeing her long lost brother, who was a musician as well. A brother she had lost along with her parents in 1943. However, the Lerners did in fact escape the gestapo and might have based themselves in Paris…

Also Known As: Going and Coming Back
Briefly, I have to say it's one of the best French films I have ever seen.Starting with an ordinary interview nowadays the sole surviver of a large extended jewish family, an elderly woman remembers her brothers constant playing S.Rachmaninov music,and her other family members all tragically perished in a Nazi Concentration camp.With a clever use of flashbacks,excellent editing and no overbearing rhetoric's American style,the Director tells a family's holocaust experience in a balanced composed style while at the same time exposing all the elderly woman's pain.And throughout the WHOLE film excellent Rachmaninov piano music played,by a present day piano-player……. but for the elderly lady it's her dear,dear, little brother who is really playing!! A must see for fans of French cinema !!

French film "Partir/Revenir" would always be remembered for its musical score. This film's solid foundation has been built around a mesmerizing musical score composed by great Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff and Michel Legrand. Those who know about French director Claude Lelouch and his "large than life" films would surely be aware of the fact that Mr.Lelouch had directed all kinds of major stars of French cinema. This phenomenon is quite visible in this film as there is something unique about unparalleled Lelouchian method of handling actors.
This is one reason why players like Annie Girardot, Jean Louis Trintignant, Marie France Pisier, Michel Piccoli and Richard Anconina who are veritable stars of French cinema remain true actors when they are in a Claude Lelouch film. While making "Partir/Revenir", Claude Lelouch has ensured that there should not be any hint of an impending sensationalism and suffering. This narrative device functions well in this film as it has neither tears nor trauma with which audiences generally tend to associate Holocaust/Nazi themed films.The true beauty of this film lies in its many scenes of joyful madness.IMDB Reviewers
