The film left me conflicted. On one hand, it's a beautifully sculpted film, just like Birkin (totally agree with you on her elegance and talent - it's one of the factors that makes this film work). On the flip side, pedo.
The final scene is a total gut punch on so many levels. In that way, it's brilliant.
There was some surreal musical film that Serge was in...I can't remember what it was now. I remember watching it and one scene really hung with me - him singing this song in a French cafe smoking a cigarette. I kinda remember the lyric chorus but it was in French so I can't spell it and search it.
And yes, this film has the required cigarettes and cafes. That's so French.
I'm going to dig out my CD of Aus Armes Et Cetera when I get home and give it a listen again. It's an amazingly tight reggae album. That band, plus Serge's French take - a masterpiece. When I guest-hosted on Spliff Skankin's show, I played it and Spliff was really impressed. He had heard of it but not heard it.
I should've figured cf would have this in his queue. My criterion brotha.
If only the powers that be would be inclusive enough to add a criterion D00Msub4M, all might be represented fairly...
