David Fear

The final KO of a brilliant cinematic one-two punch, Leos Carax’s follow-up to his gobsmacking feature debut, Boy Meets Girl (1984), proved this enfant terrible was no one-hit wonder. Boy still meets girl, in the form of feral Denis Levant and gorgeous Juliette Binoche, but this sophomore outing’s real romantic coupling is an artist swooning head over heels for his medium.

Bittersweet, haunting, and as original and eccentric as homage movies get. Read full review

David Sterritt

Distinctive feel. Read full review

The dialogue is very good and the characters are certainly intriguing - there's quite a strong sense of mystery present throughout. Its quite stylish for the time it was made with some interesting visuals - card tricks (i.e. magic tricks) are shown at different times. Its thought provoking and somehow relatively poignant too. It's quite an arty film and its not primarily full of sex scenes, even though the main plotline may make you fear it would be.I thought this film was well made and I can understand why its regarded a cult classic, so yes, I'd recommend it. It's worth a watch to see a young Juliette Bonche, if not for any other reason.… Expand
