Mauvais Sang (1986)
In Paris in the near future. Aging thieves Marc and Hans owe money to a tough American woman who gives them two weeks to pay. They scheme to steal and sell a new serum for a disease that's killing lovers, but they need someone with quick steady hands. They recruit Alex, a disaffected youth who's breaking up with Lise, his 16-year-old girlfriend. In the few days before the theft, Alex becomes enchanted with Anna, Marc's young mistress. They talk, they play, they sing, but she's in love with Marc. (imdb)

The attention to detail and the insightful romantic themes of Truffaut, the poetic grandiosity of Resnais, and the freewheeling, "pure cinema" spirit of Godard. It adds up to something touching, joyous yet melancholy, beautifully done with interesting cinematic techniques and great splashes of color. And it's wrapped around an intriguing crime story (shades of Melville and Dassin). Among a series of terrific scenes, the "Modern Love" sequence is unforgettable.

The style is over the top from the first to the last scene. It's a 114 minutes videoclip, if you ask me. Well, Juliette Binoche is always charming, at least.

For all its hyperactivity it drags in parts. Feel like it shoukd have been 20 min shorter

Best if taken as a swirling series of images and ideas than as conventional narrative; clearly attempts to ape Godard, but lacks the master's intensity and focus; perhaps slightly difficult to judge coherency on a first viewing, but it is often stunningly filmed with some great setpieces, especially the Bowie tribute and a nerve jangling skydiving sequence. Binoche is a simply stunning photographic subject and her and Levant make their purposely disjointed and incoherent relationship work.
