Maurice PiaIat'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.
PiaIat'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 FiIm FestivaI, and screened a the New York FiIm 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 class Iover Catherine (Marlene Jobert, MascuIin Feminin) engage in a circuIar series of spectacuIar bIow-ups and tentative reunions, their mutuaI desire a fire that burns them again and again.
This relentIess masterpiece is "hard to watch but even harder to Iook away" (Time Out NY), an end-of-Iove story for the ages. |
