LES AMANTS RÉGULIERS (2005) 185'
Description
"With its magnificent spectrum of blacks and whites, its shots of faces accompanied by piano, the fluidity of its editing, its way of letting the shot carry everything, Les Amants réguliers restores the expressive power of a cinema era when it didn't even lack words. But if, despite its numerous dialogues, Les Amants réguliers is a silent drama, it's also because of a kind of inability to speak on the part of its character. The silence is also François (Louis Garrel), an infinitely romantic character of a young poet, who encounters mad love in the turmoil of the May 68 events, and will pay dearly for not having been able to express in words the intensity of the feeling that grips him."
— Jean-Marc Lalanne, Les Inrocks
