This paperback, published by Cahiers du cinéma in January 2003, offers an in‑depth look at the trilogy of films created by director Lucas Belvaux. Spanning 320 pages, the volume examines how the three interconnected narratives—Un couple épatant, Cavale, and Après la vie—were conceived, shot, and released simultaneously, a rare experiment in contemporary cinema. The book draws on interviews, production notes, and critical analysis to explore the thematic links between the films, their stylistic choices, and the way they challenge conventional storytelling. Readers gain insight into Belvaux’s artistic vision, the collaborative process with his cast and crew, and the reception of the trilogy within French film culture. Illustrated with stills and behind‑the‑scenes photographs, the work serves both as a scholarly resource and a companion for fans interested in the making of this distinctive cinematic project.
