She Spent So Many Hours Under the Sun Lamps

A young film director is making a movie with his friend Christa. In the film-within-the-film there are two couples, one real, one imagined, and the film - told through five dreams - is as much the story of a film in-production, as the birth of a child.

Directed by Philippe Garrel, She Spent So Many Hours Under the Sun Lamps leans on a strong ensemble — Anne Wiazemsky, Jacques Bonnaffé, Mireille Perrier — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1985.
