Audience Member 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 don't like foreign film or independent cinema steer way clear of this. 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Con esta última entrega de la trilogía, Denis no se va sin dejarnos con un buen numero de escenas de su característico estilo observacional, y es aquí, aparte de su presentación no formulaica, donde radica el interà (C)s de la cinta ya que el resultado final, en contraste con sus dos previas cintas, como que no cuaja completamente. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member (*** 1/2): Thumbs Up Claire Denis is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and this is yet another very good film in her cannon.
