Review
... and you get the film that made me understand what cinema was
all
about.
The simple story of two teenagers meeting at no time. The candid one,
Camille, makes the audience, the more experienced one, Joelle, provides
the
story: in the 80s or 90s, a foolish lover decides to exploit her sickness
(AIDS) to contaminate the male population of his provincial town and gain
on
the visits of his new patients... the clever man is a GP.
The story is made even more interesting when it suddenly jumps from one
period of the 20th century to the other, France under occupation during
the
second world war. Whatever the period, the drama is the
same.
What I liked so much in this film is the way Blier makes the last jump,
when
the film is no longer about the story but about the crew of the film. It
is
not only a simple effect, it goes on showing that life is a drama whatever
the situation, that even if Joelle is an actress, still she can live the
same drama.
The other great thing about this film is that you can't help comparing it
with Blier's 'Les Valseuses', and read it as the story of friendship and
liberty at two different times (70's for les valseuses). This is not just
because of the story line, but is present at almost every shots. From the
meeting of the two encounters to simple shots on the road, where both
walk,
one slower than the other, like an unbalanced pair.
