BOY MEETS GIRL (CARAX)
Our Price: $19.95

The highly acclaimed first feature by filmmaker Leos Carax is an                 unconventional, moody tone piece which centers on a young man cruising the       dark side of Paris. The travails of Alex (Denis Lavant), a would-be filmmaker,   are expressed in haunting images. He's a Gallic Holden Caulfield: embittered,  intellectualized and almost without hope. He crosses paths with a beautiful    young woman (Mireille Perrier), leading to a truly dark night of the soul.     "Carax demonstrates a very personal, subtly disorienting sense of space in his   captivating black and white images, and the soundtrack has been constructed    with an equally dense expressivity. Carax's formal control and distance keep   the confessional element in a state of constant critical tension" (Dave Kehr,  Chicago Reader). In French with English subtitles.                         Leos Carax---France---1984---100 mins.
LOVERS ON THE BRIDGE

One of the most original and exhilarating works of recent cinema, Les         Amants du Pont-Neuf is as daring as it is dazzling--taking the viewer from    gritty, docudrama-styled depictions of homeless life to the most whimsical       moments of romantic fantasy. Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant star as two     unlikely lovers who celebrate and suffer with equal abandon. Director Leos     Carax's massive set, duplicating the famous Pont Neuf and much of its          surroundings, helped make this one of the most expensive films in French         history, but the movie is ultimately more intimate than epic. "... could be    the great urban expressionist fantasy of the 90s: like Sunrise and       Lonesome in the '20s and Playtime and Alphaville in the      '60s" (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader). In French with English         Leos Carax---France---1991---126 mins.
