Director Carax seems to set a standard for the 80's a stunning film which seems to draw atmosphere from every scene. A tale of a young man desperate to find a goal in life an old gangster fighting to stay alive and Anna(Binoche) the link between them and wanting them both.
I still find it difficult to belief that Binoche aged twentytwo could supply such a performance at the beginning of her career. To most they would consider it their peak.
Outstanding film and performances that leaves you thinking and needing more.
Mauvais Sang made me feel cooler just for watching it—like I’d chain-smoked a Gauloises in a neon-lit alley while reciting poetry to nobody in particular. It’s moody, stylish, and occasionally baffling, but there’s real heart pulsing beneath all that noir-drenched angst. I loved Juliette Binoche smouldering on screen, and Julie Delpy has that effortlessly aloof charm that just works. And Dennis Lavant—my god, the man dances. That scene? Electric. I honestly think it should be a law: Lavant must dance in every film. Not just the ones he’s in—every film. The plot wobbles here and there, but the vibes? Impeccable.
