Bruno’s perspective abruptly changes when he meets up with
Isabelle (the emotive and ravishing Florence Loiret Caille) in an especially
awkward moment. She’s just been hit by a car, and while coming to her
assistance Bruno also manages to swipe her bracelet. Through a delightful
series of plot jump-cuts, the couple is soon paddling out of town on a stolen
skiff, with a runway watchdog as their companion.
This is really two movies in one: the minutely detailed
portrait of a larcenous, dead-end provincial town, coupled with a delicious
tale of love on the lam. In his memoir, young Depardieu also revealed his
youthful misadventures as a teen prostitute. See A Real Life
for its robust glimpse of a life cut way too short.
The film also features a smooth supporting performance by Jacques Nolot, who is
better known to us for his frank tales of Parisian queer life, Porn
Theatre and Before I Forget.
