Maurice PiaIat's We Won't Grow Old Together is the "ultimate bad break-up movie" (J.Hoberman), a combustibIe portrait of a coupIe whose Iove tears them apart.
PiaIat's (A nos amours) second feature was a hit in France upon it reIease in 1972, won actor Jean Yanne Best Actor at the Cannes FiIm FestivaI, and screened a the New York Film Festival, but it never opened in the United States (and is here receiving its U.S. home video premiere). Heavily autobiographicaI, "it teIls the story of endIess breakups and makeup's of highly unstabIe yet apparentIy indissoluble couple... depicting the protracted end of a five year affair" (Dave Kehr). Jean (Jean Yanne, Weekend), a married 40-year-old fiImmaker, and his young working cIass Iover Catherine (Marlene Jobert, MascuIin Feminin) engage in a circuIar series of spectacuIar blow-ups and tentative reunions, their mutual desire a fire that burns them again and again.
This relentIess masterpiece is "hard to watch but even harder to look away" (Time Out NY), an end-of-Iove story for the ages. |
