FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Adieu Philippine (engl. subt.)
Hard to believe, but the Nouvelle Vague in France began in the late 50s of the last century - and still seems as hip as one could wish for! It all started with a handful of films that seemed much more confident and fresh than anything known before. Sometime in the early 60s, it had become a confusing flood, so Geek still has a lot to discover. A nice occupation! And here comes a forgotten classic of the Nouvelle Vague! Michel (Jean-Claude Aimini) works as a technician for television, where he picks up two teen girls Liliane and Juliette (Yveline Cery and Stefania Sabatini) on the prowl for their stars. Michel begins an affair with each of them. Independently of each other, they both fall in love with Michel. Eventually, however, the two realise that Michel is not just seeing them alone. Their triumphant marriage is slowly eaten away by jealousies and accusations... Michel flees to Corsica, but the teenagers follow him everywhere. Now a second plot line kicks in as the girls demand that Michel find a film director who still owes them money. In the end, Michel has only one way out of this menage a trois: Algeria... I think only a few people will know Jacques Rozier. Adieu Philippine is his debut and probably still the most popular. An amateur film, probably with too much dialogue and a bit pretentious - but with the swing of the Nouvelle Vague! Wonderful images, Paris in tango rhythm and a soundtrack full of pop pieces of the time. Somehow it makes you want to try it yourself!
