Wonderful character development!
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Young lovers on the run in Paris attempt to elude a number of sinister characters. French new-wave filmmaker Claude Chabrol, appearing in a bizarre role as a voyeur, is one of many in-jokes/references to Fuller's fascination with European culture. The film is structured as a chase yet has a tentative, fantasy matrix which makes it the opposite of a realistic thriller. It's charming, personal, tender and nihilistic all at the same time. Fuller fans may have some trouble finding this rather obscure film, but it's well worth searching out.
