Le vent de la nuit

Not a great classic, not the movie that will make millions of euros gross, but a deep, compelling story, providing strong performances, despite the fact that you don't know where this story leads too. I did not care. The dialogues between Xavier Beauvois and Daniel Duval are absolutely the best part of this movie. A deep character study, where Daniel Duval nearly steals the whole movie. Xavier Beauvois' character is ankward, annoying, but excellent too; his clumsiness very touching. I think this film deserves to be seen several times, not in a row, but the more you'll watch it, the more you'll find out new elements. Anyway, I like Philippe Garrel's movies. Very intelligent plots. Intense and deep. So strange this man - Beauvois - who leaves his girl friend - Deneuve - alone in the restaurant with Beauvois' new friend - Duval - before leaving. And we don't know what happens to him - Beauvois.... So strange and fascinating too. No explanation. Terrific.
