Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Marc (Michel Piccoli) recruits Alex (Denis Lavant), son of his former, now dead colleague. Alex is a card shark with a big dream to go out to the world and leave his own mark. His determination leads him to break up with his girl friend, Lise (Julie Deply). Alex initially refuses to help Marc and Hans for their "job" of stealing the culture of new drug. But Anna (Juliette Binoche)'s charm and beauty were irresistible. Alex joins the elders. Alex's dance to David Bowie's Modern Love illustrates unfolding emotions of young Alex moving into an adult (graying if not dying) world. The interplay among the generations, between genders, among social classes, memory and hopes, all played against black and white and occasional red back drop. Anna's cobalt blue robe punctuates the moment when Alex confesses his love for her. Written by lucidwisdom@gmail.com |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Julie Delpy says she came out of filming this movie traumatized: "Yes, it was a very difficult shoot. I had a motorcycle accident. In order to make the insurance work, I wasn't taken to the doctor right away. As a result, my leg became gangrenous - one more day and it was amputation. Moreover Leos Carax was not easy. The actress was not easy either. It was a set of things where I was really traumatized when I got out of this movie. It was at the limit where I wondered if I wanted to continue what. It wasn't a pleasant shoot, no", Delpy unveiled without detour, thus engaging in the passage on 'the actress' that was Juliette Binoche. See more » |

Alex:
I was a frighteningly silent child, apparently. I kept silent... but that's not right. Silence keeps us. See more » |
