Description
Cast: Denis Lavant, Mireille Perrier, Carroll Brooks
With his first film, 23 year-old Carax appeared as a fully formed auteur, a true heir to the cinephilic verve of the French New Wave. Poetic, funny, and lustrously photographed in black-and-white, the film follows a lovelorn Parisian’s (Carax surrogate Lavant) quest to locate a girl whose voice he heard on his apartment intercom.
