La Chamade est un roman écrit par Françoise Sagan en 1965. Il a été adapté au cinéma en 1968 par Alain Cavalier.
Fidèle à ses thèmes fétiches de l'oisiveté, la jeunesse dorée, l'argent facile et les voitures, Françoise Sagan livre une vue assez acerbe sur le milieu mondain, ses futilités, mais aussi une vraie histoire, le décryptage des sentiments contradictoires, et une analyse de ce que peut être la complicité entre deux amants.
La Chamade (English: Heartbeat) is a 1968 French romantic drama film written and directed by Alain Cavalier and starring Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, and Roger Van Hool. Based on the 1965 novel La Chamade by Françoise Sagan, the film is about a beautiful woman who is mistress to a rich, good-hearted businessman who provides for all her material needs, but for whom she has no true love. When she meets a charming young man her own age, she falls in love and soon becomes pregnant with his child. After Charles helps her through her crisis, her feelings for the young man gradually fades and she returns to the good-hearted businessman who has patiently waited for her. La Chamade was filmed on location in Paris and Nice.
Upon its theatrical release, La Chamade received generally positive reviews. In his review in The New York Times, Vincent Canby wrote, "Cavalier may have created a practically perfect screen equivalent of the novelist's prose style." In addition to praising the performances by Deneuve and Piccoli, Canby writes:
La Chamade (literally "the heartbeat") is a movie of technical skill and pure images that capture the textures of things—whitewashed walls, a piece of modern sculpture, cut flowers, flesh tanned in the sun—all of which give reality to a narrative line from which everything nonessential to the affairs of the heart has been refined. The extraordinary thing is that, in this day and age, it not only works but also seems somehow urgent, at least while it is going on.
On the review aggregator web site Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 68% postive audience rating based on 66 ratings
