[Signé Charlotte]
Director Starring |
Shockingly not unwatchable, this is a film by one Huppert starring another Huppert and which only a Huppert fanactic could love. Ravaged by 80s fashion and so formulaic — characters could not possibly be less well-motivated, particularly Charlotte’s ex-lover who drops everything in life to help her flee from a murder rap, happy to drop stable family-man life for grand theft auto, then return to the straight-and-narrow just as soon as Charlotte makes a Big Sacrifice. Nothing to recommend it, actually bad in many spots, but has a certain charm and I can’t say I disliked it for a moment. The 80s did their worst to everyone: I’ll go easy on Isabelle in Madonna gloves and spiked hair singing lame Europop chansons. There’s a certain charm. |
