Fragments of a Life Loved / Frammenti di un percorso amoroso

If you wanted to tell the story of your love life, how would you do it? Chloé Barreau might be the director of this film about her life, but lets her ex-lovers take the floor and tell the tale. In interviews, she did not conduct herself. The unusual narrative form not only composes the picture of many passionate relationships, broken hearts, unfulfilled desires and happy days, but it also creates a universal novel about love. The heartfelt, funny and sometimes almost unbelievable snippets of the past are complemented by Chloé’s vast archives which bring the history to life. Eight women and four men accompany Chloé from her student years in France to her departure to Rome and Barcelona, and back again. Sometimes she’s devoted, sometimes fickle, but always loving. This formally unique and unusually honest documentary has traveled to major festivals worldwide – for example, Venice, Hot Docs and Frameline.
