Betty Blue - 1986 - 7/10
AKA - 37°2 le Matin
Zorg, handyman and hopeful writer, and the ferociously protective Betty.
Carpe diem applies as they live from one situation to another.
Moving, primarily because of Betty’s explosive temper.
Dangerous, too. Not only to others, but increasingly to herself.
Heady arthouse film of consuming passion still packs a punch.
The limits of how far one would go for love.
The photography is gorgeous (as is Béatrice Dalle), and the music is hypnotic.
Long, at three hours, though seldom slow. A lot of skin and friction.
