LÉOS CARAX RETROSPECTIVE BAD BLOOD (MAUVAIS SANG) SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 2000, 7 PM $6 ($4 WALKER MEMBERS) AUDITORIUM |
Always on the prowl, Alex (Denis Lavant) joins a gang of thugs to steal the serum for a virus that kills people who "make love without love." In the process, Alex falls for his mate Marc's girl (Juliette Binoche), who rejects his advances despite intense conversations with him. This romantic thriller, a melancholy vision of love in the age of AIDS, further attests to the young filmmaker's virtuoso talent and his assured use of color as glimmers of hope in a harsh world. Featuring Michel Piccoli and Julie Delpy. 1986, France, in French with English subtitles, 119 minutes.
