6/10
Apparently this Zulawski film from '85 is tough to follow even with subtitles. I speak French so I thought I'd tough it out, but much of the Parisian French and the metaphor/nonsense heavy dialogue went right by me. So maybe not fair to rate it but I still enjoyed it, it was entertaining and wild...particularly Sophie Marceau as 'the girl' and Tchéky Karyo, who practically convulses with energy. The movie misses him when he's not on screen, for sure.
I have to wonder if Christopher Nolan has ever seen it - the opening bank heist (with Disney masks for that added touch of surrealism) reminded me remarkably of the one that opens The Dark Knight.
