    If not for the silly supernatural territory that this veers to in the 2nd half it would definitely be one of the better 2008 films I've seen. It is sort of Garrel's take on Resnais' Love Onto Death, without the ponderous and didactic dialogue of that film. Garrel and Lubchansky r...( read more)eally make some the most gorgeous closeups that capture every subtle expression on an actor's face. I was surprised at how relatively accessible this was compared to Le Lit de la Vierge or even Regular Lovers, but the film still has Garrel's distinct signature. The film splits the focus on Laura Smet's character in the first half and the effect of her death on Louis Garrel's character in the 2nd half. Also there something odd about the contemporary setting which is undermined by some anachronistic details like Garrel's antiquated camera and the mention of some revolutionary stuff by Smet's character. It's as if these people were still stuck in Paris 68.

    Qui a dit que des sentiments et quelques murs suffissait pas a faire un film. Phillippe Garrel avec 3x rien donne une lecon de poesie.

    "o amor dos os dois são como dois pára-brisas, que nunca se encontram, nunca querem a mesma coisa ao mesmo tempo"
