the director and co screenplay writer jean jacques beineix must of thought he be the french personification of the director of heaven gate and which we know or should know be an overlong indulgent movie . la lune dans le caniveau ( the moon be in the gutter ) be of the same cloth and pretty at time to look at but mostly grim needless artless and uninteresting . a good translated title would be the moon be in the sewer . it be that dreary and boring . now this do have a very well know cast of 1983 and still be know today . gerard depardieu be 35 when this be make and he sure be very handsome and sexy . victoria abril be very young and sexy and very beautiful . the same go for nastassia kinski . these three fine talent do not rise above the base script . this be a very long 138 minute film and i have hear that the director ( like cimino ) have a much long movie . the film may have be a good movie at about 80 minute . rating represent half ( out of 4 ) 42 point ( out of 100 ) imdb 3 ( out of 10 ) .
