If you've ever succumbed to obsessive love and its attendant crazy clinginess, or if you've ever dated, um, an "artist" only to marvel at their capacity for self-involvement, now's your chance to see your neuroses validated (stylishly and in French!) by the ineffable, immortal Ms. Deneuve. Also, the film is scored by John Cale, onetime bandmate of Phillippe Garrel's longtime lover Nico. So, just to recap: While American culture spawns the clownish tanorexic cougars of Real Housewives of Orange County, France gives us classy, icy blondes set to soundtracks by Velvet Undergound members. Sigh.







You know you can actually watch this great film on jaman.com for free if you cant get out to see it.
