4.0 out of 5 stars
The typical French relationship film played like a dream., February 21, 2001
This review is from: Night and Day [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This plays like an Eric Rohmer film - a wordy romance about complicated young love. It also replays Truffaut's 'Jules et Jim' menage-a-trois scenario, with the heroes called Jack and Joseph. The difference being the film's implicit feminist bite, which centres its heroine's sense of fragmentation and imprisonment, rather than her lovers' reaction to it; and in its creation of a nocturnal dream space. The division of the characters between night and day (each lover, a taxi driver, works at these times) is marked in the divisions of space and architecture, as well as the characters. Paris, empty, suspended, eerie, is like something from a Surrealist reverie.
