What is Life Is A Bed of Roses about?
In this whimsical fable, Resnais deftly interweaves three story lines: the creation of an early-20th-century utopia; romantic high jinks at a school conference; and a fantasy sparked by F/X pioneer Georges Méliès.
Life Is a Bed of Roses is a 1983 French film directed by Alain Resnais from a screenplay by Jean Gruault.
