The Moon in the Gutter is a sumptuous, dazzlingly photographed melodrama that becomes, alas, relentlessly boring. Go to Full Review

06/09/2017 An interesting failure. Gorgeous to look at; hard to swallow. See more 10/02/2011 A visually arresting, delightfully atmospheric, and erotically infused trance, dream, vision, and nightmare. See more 09/16/2011 This movie started off with unbelievable plot points, overly dramatic acting and dialog that was like a dadaist love poem written by a dim witted teenager. Then it really started to suck. See more 07/03/2011 A depressing movie. Not because of the numerous characters who have led tragic lives (the film doesnt care about them at all), but because the film had so much potential, but in the end amounted to nothing more than incredibly but empty eye candy. See more 04/14/2010 Still my favorite from Beineix and one of my best from the eighties! Can you dream of love and happiness in a dreamy urban netherworld were social barriers are merciless? As said Gerard in the movie: "La chance n'existe pas... (There is no such thing as luck)". The cinematography is stunning and the main actors (G. Depardieu, N. Kinsky & V. Abril) are very good.
