ho molti impegni, uffa
 Beh udah kebayang bakal sibuknya gue. Bukan hal yang buruk. Tapi mulai minggu ini sampe April bakal ada tiga kelas yang mesti dijalanin. Tiga. Tre. Trois. Three. Tres. T t t dan t...Belum lagi Maret tibanya the French film festival. Tadi baru aja liat entrinya, masih muka-muka lama baik aktor dan sineasnya: Daniel Auteuil, François Ozon, bahkan Dépardieu sampai dua film di event ini. Festival ini tampak makin komersial dengan penggembungan jumlah film komedi (untuk menjerat publik luas?). ««« Les Amants réguliers :: tampak bermutu, patut tonton, malah tampaknya ia akan jadi film utama festival. Maunya sih ngikutin festival dengan hati tenang, tapi menjelang harinya, banyak tekanan dari teman-teman. Pilih yang mana, samain jadwal, ketemuan, après-film coffee & dinner, etc etc. Tahun lalu saya cuma nonton tiga biji, itu pun udah terengah. Sedangkan temen gue Rosalia, delapan film dilahap: tidak beda jauh dengan sopir kopaja, bak mengejar setoran saja! Untung rumahnya hanya 10" berjalan uphill menuju cinema. |
Celebrated auteur Philippe Garrel has reached new heights with this achingly beautiful film about the true events of 1968, when students and workers almost toppled a government. The film centres on twenty-year-old poet François (Louis Garrel) and his friends who find themselves caught up in the revolutionary promise and chaotic excitement of the revolts. After the riots die down, the group retreats into a rambling mansion recently inherited by its young owner, and these children of paradise experience the euphoria of communal freedom - smoking, discussing politics, falling in love, dancing ecstatically. But reality inevitably comes to collect its due. François watches as his group metamorphoses and, as he falls in love with a young artist (Clotilde Hesme) and starts to make new commitments, feels himself changing as well.
One of the festival’s unmissable highlights, REGULAR LOVERS is an intimate and poetic epic about a generation grappling with its restless ambitions. The beauty of the film - the shimmering black-and-white tones and the purity of the compositions – is never short of spectacular.
