FREE ON YOUTUBE Leos Carax - Boy Meets Girl

FREE ON YOUTUBE  A fairy tale of love! Obviously, the young Leos Carax knew all the movies of the Nouvelle Vague and everything that was going on in the cinema (especially in Hollywood). The typical debut of a cinephil Frenchman who spent his whole life in the cinemateque - indoors and never outdoors. But through the pictures of his role models we also clearly recognize Carax. His hero's name is Alex (but he could also be called "Antoine Doinel") and is played by Denis Lavant. He has no family - only the voice of his father is heard on the phone. His girlfriend left him to be with Alex* best friend. Then he falls in love with the voice of a young woman... Later he meets her - Mireille (Mireille Perrier) - at a party. An actress who only has commercials and who leads a life in Paris without bigger ambitions. Aimless. Leo's Carax tells the story of Alex less stringently than as a chain of original accidents and gags. The best time is when Alex is surrounded by couples on the Pont Des Art like in a round dance. Beautifully photographed in black and white and - despite being stolen together everywhere - one of the most original films of the 80s!
