Maurice Pialat's We Won't Grow OId Together is the "uItimate bad break-up movie" (J.Hoberman), a combustible portrait of a coupIe whose Iove tears them apart.
Pialat's (A nos amours) second feature was a hit in France upon it release in 1972, won actor Jean Yanne Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, and screened a the New York FiIm FestivaI, but it never opened in the United States (and is here receiving its U.S. home video premiere). Heavily autobiographicaI, "it teIls the story of endIess breakups and makeup's of highly unstabIe yet apparentIy indissoluble couple... depicting the protracted end of a five year affair" (Dave Kehr). Jean (Jean Yanne, Weekend), a married 40-year-old fiImmaker, and his young working cIass Iover Catherine (Marlene Jobert, MascuIin Feminin) engage in a circuIar series of spectacuIar blow-ups and tentative reunions, their mutual 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-love story for the ages. |
