A unique approach to a complex relationship in a story that portrays characters living in degrading situations on the streets, marked by frustration and self-destruction. Loneliness brings them together, initiating a connection that follows intense paths. Director Leos Carax builds a scenario of romance amidst degradation, revealing, deep down, a toxic, abusive and possessive relationship. This dynamic is enhanced by the outstanding performances of Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant. The movie features some of the saddest and most disturbing moments, leaving a heavy sense of unease.
