06/09/2015 Early film from Claire Denis that looks great with a nuanced use of the right colors and Paris. You can see her kinship with Jarmusch and with Wenders (both of whom she worked with as assistant director). The plot brings a few characters together in Montmartre but doesn't necessarily give them anything to do - we catch them in a moment of being. Or perhaps it is a moment of "unbeing" as no one seems particularly satisfied with where they are at and instead they are dreaming (without sleeping, I guess) about something different. Of course no one's life is free from influence by their context and the general social and economic order imposes a toughness on the lives of those here. Eventually another context (an ongoing serial killer of old women) joins with the rest of the plot and these characters, telling us more about why we have been following them, but it plays as an afterthought.

If you're not afraid of using your mind and encountering something that hasn't been hatched by a money hungry studio check this out.

See more 03/09/2011 Bajo la persistente trivialidad de esta película hay una poderosa fuerza expresiva que llega a fascinar. El cine elíptico de Claire Denis requiere de atención a los detalles y de una actitud contempladora muy serena puesto que su atractivo no depende de una intriga tradicional. La identidad del asesino es evidente una hora antes del final y el crimen se presenta en toda su horrible banalidad.
