(Stille dage i Clichy)
Country: DK
Technical: bw 91m
Director: Jens Jørgen Thorsen
Cast: Paul Valjean, Wayne Rodda, Ulla Koppel, Avi Sagild
Synopsis:
The sexual misadventures of an American writer and his journalist friend in Paris at the close of the sixties. United in their contempt for women, they blithely exploit the loose mores of the time.
Review:
Formless, free-wheeling cause célèbre, part comedy and part memoir. Half-improvised in the writing, shooting and editing, and poorly dubbed, it evokes the mannerisms of the Nouvelle Vague from the beginning of the decade (Rozier, for example), but has the hungover feel of Eustache's La maman et la putain. The dialogue is uniformly misogynistic and has all the authentic allure of a 1970s porno, which this is not (just), while Joey's voiceover achieves some wistful reflexion that elevates momentarily (it is the only thing that does).
