Directed by Leos Carax

“Carax’s reputation is untouchable and his output is without flaw, thanks largely to the long absences he takes from filmmaking. His earliest films, particularly this one as well as the impeccable Mauvais sang, contain leagues of truth and honesty about the pains and aches of young love. Also, they are a huge amount of fun, which movies of this sort often forget to be” (Alex Ross Perry).
