I saw this film as a wandering 22 year old living in Paris for a while in the early 1990s. As a lover of cinema I thought this was the most exhilarating, emotional and pure cinematic sequence I'd ever seen. I think I still do. Magical.
I watched this film as a teenager in the early 1990s in a gloomy military garrison-town just outside of Moscow. I was not a lover of cinema, but this exact moment from the movie is still the most emotionally explosive cinematiq sequence I´ve ever seen. I remembered every move of the guy throught all those years, even though I never remembered the name of the movie or the the actors.
Scène culte ! La course dans la rue sur Modern Love est reprise comme un hommage dans Frances Ha, comme on a pu le voir lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture du festival de Cannes 2024.
I identify with this scene really deeply, I've been living with depression and anxiety for quite a while, and here I see a fantastic depiction of what I have to go through almost everyday. I hope that i dont fall in love again, im tired
If there's a perfect film it's Mauvais Sang. If I could choose just one to still be in existence to be watched by people by the time the sun goes out, this would be my pick.
@@niceanddestroyed You are correct of course about his fame in Western Europe, and Resnais has gradually been getting better known in America and elsewhere. I've met more cinephiles in California that know Carax than Resnais, but it's probably about even now. When I saw the complete Resnais retrospective in Hollywood in 2000, the audience was only half full opening night, and 20-30% filled other days. I wish so much I could see MURIEL and JE T'AIME, JE T'AIME again on 35mm, since Criterion and Kino botched the color timing.
@@FungusMossGnosis Interesting. Resnais is one of the greatest french movie director. Je t'aime Je t'aime has inspired Michel Gondry to make "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind". He has several differents parts in his work. Don't get mad at me, but never use Western Europe or even Europe when you talk about something related to a european country. Every country in Europe has its own rich culture and history. France can't be related only to Western Europe, as France is totally unique in Europe, especially in the cinema field (and many many others). As Jean-Luc Godard would say either, USA is not America, America is a continent. Sorry to bother you, but it seems that american people from the USA speaks most of the time like this, which is not an accurate way to talk about a european culture. Arditi and Lavant are so french, and i don't think there are that famous in Europe, mostly in France. I have now finished to annoy you, glad you like french cinema, you seem to have good taste and seem very cinéphile. Regards
Carax, Lavant (immense), Binoche... et Bowie ! Modern love ! Sans oublier les vieux : Piccolli et Corto Maltese :) Un film étourdissant, avec le Sida sous-jacent (mauvais sang...) Un travelling d’anthologie. Grand moment de cinéma !.
@@alejoparedes2388 Carax, lavando (inmenso), Binoche... ¡y Bowie! ¡Modern love! Sin olvidar a los ancianos: Piccolli y Corto Maltese:) Una película aturdidora, con el sida subyacente (mala sangre...) Un travelling de antología. ¡Gran momento de cine!.
Je me suis spoilé en voulant regarder un synopsis mais tant pis ! D’après vos commentaires ce film a l’air incroyable et quand je vois ce moment là ça a l’air fou 😍😭 je pleure tellement l’acteur a l’air intense !
I note plenty of references to a later picture with a similar running scene. On a fairish scroll through the comments, I cannot see a single mention of the Nouvelle Vague film to which this thrillingly filmed sequence itself pays homage: Les 400 Coups (François Truffaut, 1959) where young Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) escapes from reform school and runs to the sea, before that stunning, final freeze-frame shot. See it.
@@lukess.s Oh RIGHT! There is a D.K.'s record in THAT one. I actually don't think I caught it the first time I saw Bad Blood , because I never thought of him using it twice (I noticed it right away viewing this clip)
Oui il dort c'est bon ! Mauvais sang par leos carax, que dire... Souvenir d'une soirée ensemble, David Bowie et son modern love, un plan séquence à couper le souffle et puis la radio à sa belle époque ! Alors, écoutons et laissons dicter nos sentiments. La suite : /watch?v=V-_c0o8LAaM
I agree. I struggled to get through this movie, but this scene was fantastic. I watched this movie because of his dance performance at the end of Beau Travail.
It's currently streaming on the Criterion Channel, if you have access. It's leaving on the 31st of March, so catch it while you can. :D Amazing piece of art.
Lorrie Paige Heard of it. It's just that i find weird that people write laconic comments on videos not explaining anything related to the post. I wanted to mention Denis Lavant too, who is extraordinary in every movie he acts.
+Aere Perenius Vraiment, je suis impressionné par tant d'intelligence et de pertinence. "I am a lover of art; a psuedo-saint of literary morality-vitiated, all throughout, by bookish prejudices". Rien que ça? Do no try to read Blaise Pascal or understand french movies, it's far too high for a hipster like you.
