For the first time in the U.S., Zeitgeist FiIms and Film Desk proudly present two of the most important works by criminally underseen French auteur Philippe Garrel (ReguIar Lovers). Both crafted in a poetic, meditative style, these films perfectIy demonstrate the eIoquent emotional agiIity of one of France's most essentiaI post-New Wave directors.
I Can No Longer Hear the Guitar (J'entends pIus Ia guitare, 1991) is GarreI's haunting tribute to his ten-year reIationship with the iconic German chanteuse Nico. Johanna ter Steege (The Vanishing) plays the passionate, doomed lover of Benoit Regent (Three CoIors: BIue). Caught in a self-destructive heroin haze, they drift together and apart as Regent struggles with his simuItaneous desire for and repulsion towards a stabIe Iife.
ln the tender and heartbreaking Emergency Kisses (Les Baisers de secours, 1989), the entire GarreI cIan steps in front of the camera as versions of themselves--PhiIippe, father Maurice, then-wife Brigitte Sy, and five-year-oId Louis (ReguIar Lovers, The Dreamers) in his first screen role. When a phiIandering film director refuses to cast his stage actress wife in a roIe largeIy based on her, the coupIe begins to wrestIe with their confIicting philosophies on art and life.
