Review of Vive L'Amour (1995) by Gary T — 13 Aug 2007
The film may have influences from Stanley Kubrick and Andrei Tarkovsky with its long continuous takes and precise framing and Michelangelo Antonioni with the prevalent theme of urban isolation clinging subtly to the sparse narrative.
The literal translation of the title is 'long live love' which appears to be more of a request than a statement in this case. I enjoyed this film immensely and give it a very strong recommendation but will preface that with the comment that its stringent styling is not to everyone's tastes, but it is a favorite film of mine.
I think it is perfect.
