Charming French chanteuse Francoise Hardy enchantingly sings 22 romantic songs on this endearing collection, which includes " Ce Petite Coeur" and "L'amitie."
This extremely budget-looking CD -- it's almost arbitrary as to what label or catalog number is listed given how many names and numbers are floating around, and there are no liner notes -- collects 18 tracks from the 1980s, though one recording from 1992 does sneak into the listing. Fran‡oise Hardy's voice was still fine on this average Continental Europop material, although the production is dated in a slick 1980s adult contemporary way (albeit sometimes with mild dance currents). At times Hardy's vocals retain that sense of measured sensuality so integral to her larger body of work, and once in a while the quality level rises, as on "Vibrations," which has far more of a guitar rock feel than most of its surroundings. And the 1992 recording -- a mournful low-key rearrangement of "Il N'y a Pas d'Amour Heureux" with classical piano and accordion -- is actually pretty good. ~ Richie Unterberger

I am not sure anyone would REALLY like/appreciate this without having seen the superb film first - so do yourself a favor, watch the film, fall in love with it - and THEN buy the CD. The songs are all by French pop singer/songwriter Alex Beaupain (who appears in the film and sings one song) - about a third of the songs in the film are off his debut album 'Garcon d'Honneur' (also excellent), but here they are sung by the actors/characters in the film - none of whom are really 'trained' singers, but all of whom have decent to excellent voices. The rest of the 14 songs were written for the film. They range from giddy romantic pop numbers ('De Bonne Raisons') to a somber, painful dirge of remembrance ('Au Park' hauntingly sung by Chiara Mastroianni, daughter of Marcello and C. Deneuve). Even if you don't speak/understand French, the music aptly conveys the mood and the songs are catchy enough that they can be enjoyed without knowing what the heck they are singing about.
