Rendez-vous Reviews

(MMU) He ahí el arrebao tehinesco, con Binoche siwmpre corriendo, treendamente fata para Paulot y a la vez víctimas fatal de Vinnet Wilsn bienmuerto temprano. La poto de Trintignant es muy afectada..

I have noticed that while André Téchiné is probably one of the most heralded directors in France, he is not very famous abroad which is quite a shame since he has directed some pretty good movies like this one for example which must be one of his best features. This time, he was working with a very young Juliette Binoche and it was one of her first movies (she made no less than 6 movies back in 1985). Binoche who was in her early 20’s at the time, was just really brilliant in this flick. It is always fascinating to see someone so young showing such a wide spectrum of emotions. Her character was really confused and conflicted but I thought she was quite fascinating. I was also impressed by Lambert Wilson (yes, the french dude in ‘The Matrix’ sequels) and, together with Binoche, they had some very intense chemistry. Basically, it is one of those tormented French romances involving some rather messed up people but I always had a weak spot for the genre and this flick was really solid with a rather unhealthy love triangle. To conclude, I really enjoyed this movie and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
