Opening film tracks....some actual bangers! on 09:19 - Dec 12 by BanksterDebtSlave
An operatic banger and a new film to watch, bonus.
It really is an audio-visual feast and best seen in a cinema, probably difficult these days.
This critique is great, and I really like touches like the "car chase" ending up with the chased moped driving down the metro.
"The movie is filled with so many small character touches, so many perfectly observed intimacies, so many visual inventions—from the sly to the grand—that the thriller plot is just a bonus. In a way, it doesn't really matter what this movie is about; Pauline Kael has compared Beineix to Orson Welles and, as Welles so often did, he has made a movie that is a feast to look at, regardless of its subject. [...] Here is a director taking audacious chances, doing wild and unpredictable things with his camera and actors, just to celebrate moviemaking."
Having said this, I went into the movie when it was first shown in the UK with no expectations, so maybe my bigging it up will only lead to disappointment on your part.

I win and claim my prize!
If we're going down that route.
The Boston Globe said: "It has the look of Grease and the soul of Animal House—and it's better than both. The anarchic rock of The Ramones electrifies the film with a driving beat that never lets up. The film, like rock and roll, is just plain fun."
And here's a clip from the film with the Ramones.
