This Italian movie cannot be taken seriously, but it isn't a great comedy also: it's just a confused mess of stitched together sexscenes who all follow the same pattern. He is the author of three books, along with numerous articles and reviews. Par conséquent, vous trouverez absolument ce qui vous intéresse. We quickly discover, however, that Monsieur Michel has no dog, and that, in his run-down apartment where he does electrical repairs for fellow tenants who pay him late, if at all, he fries up the scraps for his own consumption. Among the most disturbing of these objects are small dolls, many of them in soft-core poses, made from photographs of scantily clad high-school girls. Zorg Jean-Hugues Anglade , the male protagonist of Betty Blue, starts off the film as a handyman at a beach resort and then moves around France, working at various jobs as he tries, unsuccessfully, to keep his twenty-year-old girlfriend Betty Béatrice Dalle from falling into insanity.
An ironic turn of events leads to an equally ironic conclusion, including the priceless freeze frame that closes the film. Most importantly, however, the French set offers what appears to be a new transfer of Diva, a film tragically missing from the American collection. Gérard, the hero of The Moon in the Gutter, is a dockworker who lives in a run-down apartment in what is supposed to be Marseilles with his alcoholic brother Dominique Pinon , a fairly sluttish girlfriend Victoria Abril , his father, and his black stepmother Bertice Reading. The two travel around the country working at various circus jobs until they end up running the lion show at a huge circus in Berlin. The main character of Diva, I remind the readers, is a young postal employee who delivers mail and social-security checks on his moped. But in solid contrast to the extreme estheticism of his style, Beineix turns out to be, in film after film, the poet of the working class, even of the under classes. I find myself wondering why all of the films in the French set have an audio commentary by Beineix, while the only one in this set to have such a commentary is Betty Blue.
This, in turn, appears to drain Betty of her life force. Although Roselyne starts off as his mentor, Thierry, once he has gotten the hang of lion taming, inexplicably acts very much the tyrant when he gets in the performing cage with his girlfriend. He then has a nightmare presented as a montage sequence in which he is alternately fucking Olga, strangling her, and watching as a young child his parents having sex, ultimately scaring the shit out of his reasonably normal girlfriend, significantly named Hélène Valentina Sauca , who gets the classic Beineix full-frontal nudity treatment. But it is only after Betty is lying catatonic in a hospital that Zorg receives an offer from a publisher. Nothing really happens, of course it is all fake, and that shows! When the couple moves to a town Marvejols in south-central France, where they improbably run a piano store for a Parisian friend of theirs, Betty sinks even more rapidly into a form of hysterical madness that leads Zorg on two occasions the first not included in the two-hour version; see below to dress up like a woman to disguise himself in two very different and desperate attempts to help the woman for whom he has an obsessive love. In The Moon in the Gutter things just get kinkier and kinkier. As a composer Reinhardt Wagner, in spite of his name, is absolutely no match for Gabriel Yared.

In the middle of the woods they run across an old man Yves Montand, who died on the last day of principal photography who has escaped from a mental institution but who is apparently psychic and has a kind of mystical bond with nature. This flick even contains 'sex' with two 70+ men and a woman who urinates on a toilet and afterwards has 'sex' on this same toilet!!! The one exception is Le Grand cirque The Big Circus , filmed with absolutely no commentary by Bruno Delbonnel during the shooting of Roselyne et les Lions.

Throughout much of the movie the thirty-year-old Zorg and the twenty-year-old Betty Béatrice Dalle, starring in her first film appear in various states of undress, sometimes casually, often as a prelude to sex, about as often as they appear dressed. He is currently preparing a book of film theory entitled Images of Images: Lacan in Literature and Film. Near the end of the film Gérard has a nightmare that takes place in a morgue, where a nude corpse with a cut throat that could be his sister turns out to be Loretta, whose nude body he has been lightly caressing as the music track plays the slightly morbid, highly neoromantic love theme if you can call it that by Gabriel Yared. It is as if Zorg must exorcize the violent woman within him by projecting her onto Betty. There is also the little matter of pedophilia in the character of the forty-year-old Zen Buddhist who lives with a fourteen-year-old Vietnamese girl actress Thuy An Luu was in fact fourteen when she signed on for the film who takes nude photographs of herself.
The colors one remembers as bold and striking are somewhat less so here, and the focus is rather soft where it should be razor sharp. Although Diva is the film most often associated with Jean-Jacques Beineix, I consider the crushingly sad, ultimately tragic Betty Blue as his masterpiece. A self-described , Blue was a at the El Rancho Hotel and Casino in before becoming a Playmate, and posed for other men's magazines before and after joining the Playboy family. Copyright © 2010 by Cineaste Magazine Cineaste, Vol. Yared does little to modify this theme, which stands both as the idealized presence of Betty and her rather strange beauty, even as she crumbles into madness, as well as a reminder of the many demons that haunt her. Maybe the reproduction of the Mona Lisa on the wall above the copulating couple somehow mitigates the steaminess of it all.

Unfortunately for that well-off psychiatrist, however, he falls asleep during a session with a wealthy, beautiful blonde named Olga Hélène de Fougerolles , a heavily masochistic kleptomaniac. Upon her death from , her ashes were sprinkled on the grounds of the. Roselyne et les lions features Thierry Gérard Sandoz , a high-school dropout who meets a beautiful, young apprentice lion tamer named Roselyne Isabelle Pasco. Obsessed with the crime and with his dead sister, the lower-class Gérard finds something of a replacement for her in the person of Loretta Nastassja Kinski , an upper-class woman who drives around in a bright red Ferrari convertible, and who lives in a mansion with her brother Newton Channing Vittorio Mezzogiorno in what is hinted at as an incestuous relationship.

Durand then keeps the body in his apartment for several days, hiding it under the couch where his patients lie for treatment. The film goes through a number of rather poorly photographed variations, with horrible music, on the otaku theme, including a bondage game in which women also participate. In the role of Gérard, the at-the-time omnipresent Gérard Depardieu, a burly actor generally seen wearing T-shirts in the film, totally looks the part. Beineix does, however, have his own production company Cargo Films , and has written an 835-page memoir entitled Les Chantiers de la gloire literally the construction sites of glory that covers his career only through The Moon in the Gutter.
She also did additional nude photo shoots for Playboy, usually anonymously, and can be seen in a mid-1990s topless shot in The Playmate Book. . A major part of Diva, for instance, is about fetishism: not only is the young postman obsessed with an opera singer probably ten years older than he is, he steals one of her gowns and then has a prostitute put it on as part of her services rendered. How worse can it get?? Of course, there is a certain similarity between the otaku and the young postman from Diva…. Following Betty Blue, however, Beineix has become all but invisible outside of his native France. What can be said, mon Dieu, about Betty Blue…? The career of French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beineix pronounced baynex , who was born in Paris in 1946, has not been an easy read. Even here, however, Beineix introduces into Mortel transfer a totally incongruous character named Erostrate Miki Manojlovic , a street person who may be homeless as well, and who serves as a kind of Greek chorus, among other things.
Then, in 1981, Beineix directed and cowrote his first full-length feature, Diva, which initially met with a disastrous reception by the French critics. Brown is a professor in the City University of New York. From 1957 to 1963, Blue was married to producer and. As for Mortel transfer the title, which refers to a psychotherapeutic phenomenon, best translates as Mortal Transference rather than Transfer , here Beineix takes us into the much more comfortable world of a well-off psychiatrist Jean-Hughes Anglade, in his second Beineix film. I do see a bit of self-reflectivity here. Anglade in particular is much too buffoonish as he deals with the uninvited guest of a corpse.
