This Movie is a trip. Your question made me remember it so I will re watch it tonight. The music is really good. I found it interesting cos it got me to think about how different kinds Of people in The USSR would react to finding a “window to Paris” in their apartment. It’s fun

not sure if it can well and truly be called a french new wave film for a lot of reasons (not quite french, not released in precisely the right time period, etc.) but i think a good entry point to the kind of surrealist, vibes-oriented as opposed to narrative-oriented filmmaking that "foreign films" (especially European) tend to evoke / get clowned for in American media
it's funny, it's bizarre, it has something to say but you might need a couple watches to get it (at least i did)

I had the pleasure of rewatching this in a run-down theatre in Paris two weeks ago and it was quite incredible. Cried a lot and reflected on everything that’s ever happened to me and what could possibly happen now. I am grateful to be shown beauty in the world every day and I want to create something to say thank you to God but it’s so overwhelming i just feel rubbish.
Anyways, it’s about a group of teenagers setting fires and bombs around Paris and it’s wonderful and ends very upsettingly and theres a Willow Smith Whip My Hair needledrop included. Bonello you are the best!

such a beautiful, liberating film. they had so little but they lived like royalty—with opulence! please watch this movie when you can, the run time barely crosses 70 minutes. it is history that is extremely important for modern day culture. might mess around and write a full essay on it
5 stars has become my favorite movie of all time
