Written by: 
Leos Carax
Plot
His first feature, and the beginning of his work with Denis Lavant and the cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier.
Sinekatalog’s take
Leos Carax's black-and-white debut follows a young romantic adrift in Paris, meeting a heartbroken girl. Moody and poetic, with Denis Lavant introduced, it is a visually lush, youthful and idiosyncratic start to a singular career.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
