Directed by Michel Boisrond. Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Philippe Noiret, Dany Robin, Pierre Palau and Michel Galabru.
Lyradrift plots Famous Love Affairs as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
