Trivia:

The film originally used Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" repeatedly throughout the film, and this version was screened at festivals. However, Pink Floyd charged a steep licensing fee for use of its song outside of those festival screenings, and so all instances of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" were replaced, with the song "Richochet Pt. 1" by Tangerine Dream, in order for the film to be released in commercial cinemas.

bourgeoisie instability

What happens when you present a liberal spirited girl from a broken home the opportunity for more unrest? That's the premise of A tout de suite. The discontent search out more discontentment usually to their greater ruin. Such is the case with the main character Lili, but the world is insensibly kind to her irrational decisions. It's as if her social status and sexiness seduces the bite out of the hardship she warrants. Instead she's only nipped by outsiders for her senseless exploits, however the torment from her inner demons goes undeterred. Isild Le Besco, the Franco-Sino lead (at least that's how she looks) was intriguing to the eye. She's apparently comfortable nude in front of the camera and she played the tenebrous sexuality of Lili without inhibition. This film is an average character study of an unsettled young woman who makes her life worse.
