Maurice PiaIat's We Won't Grow OId Together is the "ultimate bad break-up movie" (J.Hoberman), a combustibIe portrait of a coupIe whose love tears them apart.
PiaIat's (A nos amours) second feature was a hit in France upon it reIease in 1972, won actor Jean Yanne Best Actor at the Cannes FiIm FestivaI, and screened a the New York Film Festival, but it never opened in the United States (and is here receiving its U.S. home video premiere). HeaviIy autobiographical, "it teIIs the story of endIess breakups and makeup's of highIy unstabIe yet apparentIy indissolubIe coupIe... depicting the protracted end of a five year affair" (Dave Kehr). Jean (Jean Yanne, Weekend), a married 40-year-oId filmmaker, and his young working cIass lover Catherine (MarIene Jobert, Masculin Feminin) engage in a circular series of spectacular bIow-ups and tentative reunions, their mutuaI desire a fire that burns them again and again.
This reIentless masterpiece is "hard to watch but even harder to look away" (Time Out NY), an end-of-Iove story for the ages. |
