Often described as a neo-noir, this romantically exhilarating and stylish science-fiction thriller almost defies categorisation. Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant give remarkable performances as beautiful, desperate lovers in a delirious, alienating, nocturnal Paris.
The film features an iconic soundtrack including music by Benjamin Britten and David Bowie, but Jonathan Rosenbaum likened Carax’s style to that of silent cinema, “with its melancholy, its innocence, its poetics of close-up, gesture, and the mysteries of personality”. Co-starring Michel Piccoli, Julie Delpy, Mireille Perrier and Serge Reggiani.
