About Life Is a Bed of Roses

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 comedy film directed by Alain Resnais. Vittorio Gassman takes the lead as Walter Guarini, Ruggero Raimondi as Count Michel Forbek, Fanny Ardant as Livia Cerasquier, and Geraldine Chaplin as Nora Winkle.
