Jean-Jacques Beineix’s Oscar®-nominated, erotic masterpiece erupted on the scene with such a slick new style that a whole movement was named around it (alongside the work of Luc Besson and Leos Carax): Cinéma du look. Featuring a scintillating and unforgettably fierce debut by Béatrice Dalle.
Doillon ha girato il film con un approccio documentaristico e attori non professionisti, provenienti dalle periferie povere della capitale, per raccontare la storia di un’infanzia difficile. Una finzione radicata nelle vite reali dei suoi attori, Little Brothers si distingue per la sua cruda verità.
Known for his suave, bourgeois characters, Michel Piccoli underwent a brutish and animalistic transformation in Claude Faraldo’s provocative cult film, which dispenses entirely with dialogue. Comprising grunts and gestures, Themroc is an antiestablishment battle cry against society’s conformism.
In Jacques Doillon’s abrasive melodrama, an encounter between two couples takes tragic proportions as the quartet of lovers play with burning jealousy and possessive desire. The vampiristic and self-destructive impulses of love are explored with piercing honesty and through impassioned performances.
