philippe garrel make u breathe the forgotten atmosphere of the nouvelle vague and almost lose among the vestige of it ancient splendor but ready to rise again from it ash if recall from the past . they who be a little acquainted with the director subject and on the other hand and may know very well how he obsess by a linger sense of loss as far a fickleness of reality be concern . le amants réguliers and therefore and show u the parallel story of an amour fou and of a tempted revolution go to ruin under the direction of young french student . the first part of the story be about the dramatic event of may 68 in france evoke in a series of astonish plan sequence and a sort of cinema verité style and that place the student insurrection in anything but an enviable light against a pitch black background . there much that can be say about the peculiarity of black and white photography use to describe the battle between student and police and where the high contrast confer an unrealistic atmosphere to the sequence and darkness close in upon the excited body wrap them in mystery . the image and completely deprive of word and show the real consistence of the myth and make of crude violence and more and more emphasize by the exasperated reality of the movie shooting . the individual doesn not count anything at all here represent he tend to disappear in the mass . what really matter in these fight scene be the significance of the mass suggestion and the blind fury of the juvenile assault and sinister eulogy of the power of the mob and even if conceive like separate entity apart from any kind of emotion and with the cold and distant look of an entomologist intent to catalog his insect collection . the second part of the story be describe in a quieter and most intimate way . stand out on the horizon the distress portrait of a self center generation in search of it lose time and completely disenchant about the individual value of men and incline to rotate on it own axis between opium fume and make a funeral oration in the praise of it recent defeat . les amants réguliers seem to evoke from time to time the shadow of the great robert bresson and revise and correct by garrel particular sensibility without drift away from the main argument and try to expand overall perspective on the subject of human disillusion that though painful may bring u to the truth . in my opinion and try to penetrate deeply into the substrate of the story and if a man let himself go and play thing by ear and he probably will find that he can bring out the dark side of his self with dire and irretrievable consequence .
