Félix Kysyl

If Jean-Luc Godard took a radical turn around the time of May 68, Michel Hazanavicius subverts the stern metamorphosis and turns it into a wildly entertaining, (un)romantic affair. Louis Garrel is the moody legendary director, while Stacy Martin is Anne Wiazemsky—on whose memoirs the film is based!

In this lithe romantic triangle, Philippe Garrel shows us he only needs the barest means—plus 35mm B&W film—to tell a story. Co-scripted with his regular collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière, the film oozes desire and intensity, as two women (one played by his daughter Esther) find out what love means.
