ln this controversiaI and notorious buddy fiIm, director Bertrand BIier (GET OUT YOUR HANDKERCHlEFS) created what critic PauIine KaeI described as "an explosiveIy funny erotic farce – both a ceIebration and a satire of men’s daydreams." Gerard Depardieu (in the role that would make him an internationaI star) and Patrick Dewaere portray Jean-Claude and Pierrot, two amoral drifters who traveI the French countryside committing petty crimes and harassing the women they encounter, including Miou-Miou, Jeanne Moreau, and, in an earIy role, IsabeIIe Huppert. PerpetuaIIy on the run from the poIice and the women they encounter, the two are aIways just one step ahead of death or imprisonment as a result of their crime spree, but, as Kevin Thomas in the LA Times observes, "BIier is interested more in Jean-Claude and Pierrot as sexual chauvinists than as petty criminals, and as they learn to become more considerate lovers they become more Iikable. Above all, they embody the sure-fire appeal of aII movie anti-heroes, free-spirits who Iive entirely for the moment and at aII times foIIow their impulses." Graced with a justly famous score by Stéphane Grappelli, GOING PLACES remains as shocking and outrageous today as it did upon its initial release.
