What A Difference A Few Decades Make

I recently saw ''À Tout de Suite,'' set in 1975 Paris it follows Lili, a bored bourgeois nineteen year-old art student, as she falls in love with a mysterious French Moroccan, Bada. His mystery is quickly shattered when it turns out that Bada is a bank robber – (although, a bank robber with Robin Hood ideals that turn sour when he kills a guard). Lili decides to join her lover and his accomplice (and his girlfriend), on the run from the police. Romanticizing the adventure and calling herself a “bandette,” while Bada is horrified and disillusioned from his actions. Ultimately, Lili is abandoned and encounters a series of strangers who's kindest she must depend upon in order to survive.
The film is shot in black and white and is interspersed with documentary footage of busy streets of Paris and other locales the couple ends up visiting on the run. It mostly focuses on the kind of desperate romantic love (that i hope to never experience again) and the loss of innocence. Basically it's your typical French movie - not a lot is said or done, lesbian love scenes and menage-a-trois abound, and intense close ups of Lili’s face and full lips fill the screen for half the movie. Worth checking out if you’re into that kind of thing (which i am).
When i was describing the movie to DS, he of course pointed to the obvious that the film sounds a lot like and homage to Goddard’s classic, Breathless. On a whim i looked up the original review of Breathless. I was surprised by the moralizing and cautionary tone of the review. It’s quite amusing – the film critic making a big deal of the disaffected youth and the hedonistic culture- I wonder what kind of review would “À Tout de Suite,'' generate?
