Mauvais sang
First screened in February 2003 / Most recently screened in April 2014
Director: Leos Carax. Cast: Denis Lavant, Juliette Binoche, Michel Piccoli, Julie Delpy, Hans Meyer, Carroll Brooks, Hugo Pratt, Serge Reggiani, Jérôme Zucca, Mireille Perrier. Screenplay: Leos Carax.

Twitter Capsule: Higher summits than Carax's debut but duller patches, too. Visual ideas to burn but too much dewy Binoche in close-up.

VOR:   Vivid summation of Carax's early period, and a memorable glimpse of what Godard might have made if he'd started in the 80s. Influential for sure.
