Very "Franch" movie (as GWB would say). Black and white. Its set in the 1970's, so to give it that time feel, the director included lots of file footage - so its poorly edited. However, good story. Young woman, a college art student, somehow ends up dating a thief. He robs a bank, is on the run, and she joins him. They travel to spain, morocco and greece, and he finally abandons her. She is obsessed with him, waits for him. Finally returns to Paris, and her family, meets his parents - he eventually is killed in a shoot out. She chooses a kind of exile to deal with her loss. Their relationship is brief, so her attachment to him is hard to explain. Very "postmodern" - she seems unattached to her sister, her parents, is searching for someone to love, and she picks a totally incomprehensible lover. Great shots of paris. Great nudity. Great "Franch" films always have great nudity. The actors were great - very well done despite editing shortcomings. Not a big budget hollywood film, but really good. Not the type of film you'd see at the local dumb ass mall.
