Mélo (1986)

In the dynamic milieu of 1920s Paris, a renowned concert violinist, Marcel, finds his heart ensnared by the irresistible allure of a fashionable young flapper, Romaine, who happens to be the wife of his old acquaintance, Pierre. Romaine, the puppeteer of their clandestine affair, continues to fan its flames even as her husband succumbs to a mysterious illness. The question lingers in the air - Is Romaine deliberately exacerbating Pierre's suffering? As Marcel returns from a whirlwind concert tour, he finds Romaine sinking to unprecedented depths, forsaking the ailing Pierre for their trysts. However, she's soon plagued by remorse and takes a dramatic turn. Fast forward three years, a perturbed Pierre confronts Marcel, seeking the truth he's been denied. With jealousy and indignation coursing through his veins, can Marcel deliver a performance convincing enough to mask the truth? Amidst the rhythmic pulse of Paris and the haunting strains of a violin, 'Mélo' weaves a tale of love, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of unbridled passion.
