The very old, very common French idiomatic expression C'est la vie, pronounced say la vee, has been around the world and back as a mainstay in dozens of cultures. In France, it's still used in the same sense as always, as a sort of restrained, slightly fatalistic lamentation that this is how life is and there's not much you can do about it. It seems natural that this expression is often said with a shrug of the shoulders and a bemused, but furrowed brow.
In English, it is translated as "That's life," and "Such is life." A vulgar slang equivalent in English would be "Sh-- happens."
The French C'est la vie, surprisingly, is preferred in non-French cultures, and C'est la vie is used far more in English than in French. But unlike many expressions that English speakers have borrowed from French, the meaning is the same in both languages. C'est la vie, even in English, is a sad, Chaplin-esque acknowledgment that something less than ideal must be accepted because that's just the way life is.
Here is an exchange highlighting the fatalism inherent in this expression:
C'est la vie, c'est la guerre, c'est la pomme de terre. > "That's life, that's war, that's the potato." (Only English speakers use this strange saying.)
In French, C'est la vie can also be used non-fatalistically. As such, the emphasis is on the presentative c'est introducing la vie and the idea that we're talking about something that's essential to life or a particular way of life, as in: L'eau, c'est la vie. > Water is life.
C'est la vie de famille qui me manque. > It's family life that I miss.
Vivre dans le besoin, c'est la vie d'artiste. > Living in poverty is the life of an artist.
C'est la vie de château (pourvu que ça dure). > This is the good life. Live it up (while it lasts).
C'est la belle vie ! > This is the life!
C'est la bonne. > It's the right one.
C'est la Bérézina. > It's bitter defeat / a lost cause.
La vie en rose > Life through rose-colored glasses
La vie n'est pas en rose. > Life is not so beautiful.
C'est la vie, mon pauvre vieux ! > That's life, my friend!
Bref, c'est la vie ! > Anyway, that's life!
C'est la vie. / C'est comme cela. / La vie est ainsi faite. > Life is life.
C'est la vie. / On n'y peut rien. / C'est comme ça. > That's the way the ball bounces. / That's the way the cookie crumbles
Je sais que c'est frustrant, mais c'est la vie . > I know it is frustrating, but that's life.
C’est la vie, c’est de la comédie et c’est aussi du cinéma. > That's life, that's comedy, and that's cinema, too.
Alors il n'y a rien à faire. C'est la vie! > There's nothing to be done then. C'est la vie!

La Baule-Les Pins (La Bouche pleine de sable) Written by Étienne Roda-Gil Performed by Julie Bataille
not really a sequel or re-visiting of Entre Nous
At first, I thought this was a sequel to Entre Nous. Many of the same people who made one film made another, they are supposedly written by and about the same people and the character names are repeated. However, those playing the roles are NOT the same (although Jean-Pierre Bacri stars in BOTH films but plays totally different roles). Because of this, some viewers might be VERY disappointed. It reminded me of the movie A Christmas Story. There was a little-known sequel named Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss that had NONE of the original characters or charm--and because of this it was soon forgotten. Now the only difference I see is that both these French films are about equally good. Apart from the many differences mentioned above, this film doesn't seem to have a negative view of men (in Entre Nous, the male leads were all Neanderthals), but portrays the mother in the story as a self-absorbed woman whose kids seemed to be an afterthought--her new boy-toy was about 90% of her focus. Because of this, individuals who watch this film AND have issues with a neglecting mother should think twice before watching--you MAY find this film kicks up a lot of feelings.

Astonishing property, full of natural wonder and opportunity.
C’est la vie en Rose Ranch, Ilfeld, NM 87538
The beautiful landscape will reward the work that is still needed to create a fabulous nature oriented resort, ranch or conference / education center.
Nature takes center stage, with mountains and mesas lining the horizon along the 1,600 acre property of rolling grass lands, dotted with piñon and junipers. The star of the property is over a mile of pristine Pecos River frontage. The river demonstrates its majesty and power carving a swooping oxbow and a dramatic cliff face, which provides even more privacy and the shade that trout love! Cow’s Creek peeks out at the NW edge of the property offering a surprising ½ mile of bubbling stream.
Less than 40 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, this property offers a tremendous variety of uses including horseback riding, fishing, hunting, swimming, climbing, and relaxing while allowing the natural world to hum around you. The property is fully fenced and includes eight private wells.
The buildings, primarily adobe construction and oriented for maximum passive solar exposure, present an opportunity to create a unique, nature oriented retreat. However, work needs to be done to the Resort to make the buildings usable. The Resort is anchored by a convention center, restaurant and dining facility and includes 56 casitas in six clusters of buildings around the event and conventions spaces. The pool house, equestrian center, river front buildings and many other spaces, present a truly wonderful chance to refine this singular spot in the New Mexico wilderness.
Four homes offer abundant options for refined living, including the jaw dropping views of the river from the primary residence. Three of the homes have been recently updated and are move in ready. Together they boast a combined 10 bedrooms.

Pecos & Rowe Neighborhood. Pecos and Rowe lie at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and are a short drive from downtown Santa Fe. These small towns have long histories dating back to the Pecos tribe that occupied the area before Spanish settlers took over and erected the now famous mission at the center of the Pecos National Historical Park. As the trading destination that connected the Plains tribes with Pueblo cultures, Pecos and Rowe have a rich and difficult history. Today Pecos is the gateway to fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking in the surrounding Pecos Wilderness.
