Very elegantly crafted.
-
Still fascinating Garrel.
-
Garrel carefree films with continuity on the same subjects of always and with conflicts and similar personages.
-
The veteran French director Philippe Garrel is on a major roll at the moment.
-
Garrel offers a film that is like a Polaroid, joyfully impure and with fuzzy outlines.
-
Garrel has the touch of a wiser man not taking judgment on his characters' youthful foibles, where setbacks are to be embraced and learned from rather than experiences discarded from memory.
-
Garrel is the only director who continues filming in the style of that modern cinema of which he has always been an illustrious bulwark.
-
A lot happens in just 75 minutes of screen time, offering viewers emotional fallout that lingers much longer.

Philippe Garrel
France
Philippe Garrel is a French director and actor. He received the Prix Jean-Vigo for THE SECRET CHILD in 1982. He was twice awarded at the Venice Film Festival by the Silver Lion for best director, in 1991 for I DON'T HEAR THE GUITAR ANYMORE and in 2005 for REGULAR LOVERS, for which he also received the Prix Louis-Delluc. His films often relate to the youth of the 60’s protest, to which he belonged.
His film LOVER FOR A DAY (2017) was selected at the Directors' Fortnight at the 70th Cannes Film Festival.
