Alain E This is a completely crazy movie for an audience that is accustomed to art films with subtitles. The story doesn’t make any sense. A young prostitute in France who appears to be well balanced shows some kindness to a homeless guy and eventually elevates him to her boyfriend and pimp. He finds another needy girl on the side. The guy ends up in jail and the two girls become friends. The hooker retires and decides that she wants a domestic life with two kids. Her girlfriend follows along. None of these is reasonable human behavior. The acting however is very good and the feature is well illuminated and has nice color photography. In the spirit of craziness the music is divided between Barry While and the neoclassical composer Gorecki. Available on Kanopy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Il me semble que je l'ai vu ... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Blier perd légèrement de son mordant même si les dialogues acides, le jeu fulgurant des acteurs et la mise en scène incroyable...sont toujours de la partie. Et quelle musique made by Barry White. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member un blier pur et dur ca part tres bien mais ca s essoufle au fur a mesure dommage Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
