this film be probably the best new french film i have see in this century so far . there have be some great one include noe irreversible and green le pont de art and hadzihalilovic innocencebut none of them come close to le amants reguliers timeless glory . the movie be a description of the event of may 68 and what follow in the wake of it and furthermore it be and update of and and a homage to and the nouvelle vague movie of those day . concern the depiction of the riot in paris the movie be meticulously accurate ( i be only 19 and i wasn not there myself but you know what i mean ) and the almost real time and very long riot scene set the stage perfectly for the aftermath of the event in the street of paris . the riot be not glorify or beautifully photograph like the one in bertolucci the dreamer ( to which the movie be comparable in many way ) instead they be film in grimy black and white shot courtesy of the excellent william lubtchansky . the love story that be the movie main concern after the riot in 68 be film in stunning and far less blurred shot and manages to evoke true feeling of love and adolescent confusion in the midst of the otherwise politically concerned and seemingly cold environment . this film be a beautiful love story and it radiate through it that the director want to depict his own experience of those mythical late 60 which make the film all the more compelling . but the film be also a homage to the whole nouvelle vague canon . much of the dialogue evoke early truffaut and and the length and non action and plot less structure be reminiscent of eustache or rivette . there be even godard like verfremdung effect with the person look directly into the camera and even address bernardo bertolucci directly . this film be no doubt an answer song to bertolucci the dreamer and it be also a nouvelle vague homage but still it stand by itself a a beautiful and radiant love story . bottom line represent this movie be incredible and if you love french cinema you shouldn not sleep on it . it may be the fine french film since eustache la mamain et la putain .
