synopsis

At the end of World War II, Katie unexpectedly runs into Hubbell at a party; he has just been discharged from the army. She recalls her college years, when this young man from high society had already caught her eye — she, the staunch communist activist…

Sydney Pollack a réussi, comme souvent, a mêler une histoire romanesque à la grande Histoire de son pays. (…) Le film, qui assume sa part de romantisme rétro, doit aussi beaucoup à son couple vedette. Barbra Streisand et Robert Redford, l’un comme l’autre au sommet de leur carrière, dégagent un charme indéniable tout a fait propice.

Près d’un demi-siècle plus tard, la nostalgie poétique de ces images est magique.

Le Nouvel Obs

The movie has the look of a big Hollywood romantic film but because director Pollack looks corruption in the face and exposes it for what it feels like, The Way We Were emerges as one of the least sentimental love stories ever filmed.
