Review of Regular Lovers (2005) by Sam B — 19 Jun 2007
There are two recent films you can see about youth in Paris circa May '68. One is by an aging auteur who's completely lost the plot and the other helmed by Philippe Garrel, who at one point dated Nico of The Velvet Underground.
The choice is obvious. While both films feature Garrel's son Louis in prominent roles, Regular Lovers, make no mistake, is in a class of its own. The film's first hour is consumed by an extraordinary recreation of the Night of the Barricades while the final two thirds trace the downward trajectory of a band of disillusioned idealists.
