I reactivated my Netflix DVD mail service just so I could watch this. I don't regret my decision, for the most part. As usual, Denis brings her evocative imagery that works well with the sensual subject matter. What's lacking, though, is a strong narrative pull that definitely would have made the film more engaging and interesting. I think it's one of those movies you should watch when you are in a particular mood.

"J'ai trouvé une idée de roman. Ne plus décrire la vie des gens, mais seulement la vie. La vie toute seule. Ce qu'il y a entre les gens, l'espace, le son, et les couleurs." JLG. It comes true in Vendredi Soir

Absolutely beautiful film. This was my first Denis film and I can't wait to explore her other works!

Another novel experience by claire denis. With each film, she explores new dimensions of cinematic power ... I must blame myself why I'm knowing her so late!

Beautiful. Yes. But also excoriating, lacerating, vicious, because of that, no? I can't convince anyone I know of this, but it made my skin crawl in much the same way as Makavejev's Montenegro. That we harbour ridiculous romantic notions (that are all expressed at their screaming peak in this film) is something we (women, in this case) shouldn't be forced to admit to. Lindon, Colin AND my favourite Shostakovich piece? Too too much. Unfair, Claire, but thanks. I'm probably missing the point of the film due to insurmountable horrifed reaction. Someone correct me. :)

This is bliss. It was bound to be a disastrous night, with the traffic and the strike going on, but as our heroine takes more chances, her night becomes magical, figuratively and literally (with a number of objects moving on their own). Small talk ruins romances, the brief encounter is nothing but lovely and pleasant, and there are no regrets and no preaches about the immorality of adultery.
