Out of the five features director Philippe Garrel has made starring his son Louis Garrel (see also Regular Lovers or Frontier of Dawn), this is easily the most digestible and least pretentious, but also in some ways the dullest. Young Garrel plays Louis, a jobbing actor who has left the mother of his young daughter (the delightful Olga Milshtein) for Claudia (Anna Mouglalis) a less-employed actor, whose true profession is strutting around in a vintage vinyl coat, talking in a husky voice (admittedly one of the sexiest in French cinema), and cheating on Louis. That description makes this sound more eventful than it actually is, because great swaths of the brisk running time are taken up with people gabbling about nothing in choppy little scenes. That fragmentary style is basically Philippe Garrel's main shtick, along with the use of black-and-white photochemical film stock. It's certainly atmospheric and cool in a new-New Wave way, but really, what's the point?
