Pure magic

Claude Miller's epic erotic fantasy is an unclassifiably eccentric, beautiful cinematic dessert.Long-in-the-tooth Jean-Pierre Marielle, a bored psychiatrist, falls hopelessly in love with with child-woman Emmanuelle Siegner( Odile) and leaves his comfortable environs (and wife) to go on the road -- and train -- with her.Into this potentially explosive stew are woven a subplot about a carnival barker (Richard Bohringer), unfinished business with an ex-wife and ruminations on death and irresponsibility.Miller's images are highly charged and gleefully erotic, and he uses a gorgeous signature tune, "Jump For Joy", to set and reset the tone. In one very hot sequence, the track is played as Miller cuts between Marielle riding an out-on-control bicycle and Seigner playing a game of tennis with herself. How the two threads meet is pure magic. And one will never forget the sweeping traveling shots that are so well shot and scored.Nothing about the film is locked down, and that's what makes it so enjoyable. Like a new love affair, it is propelled by its own, exhuberant euphoria. It experiments, detours through some wonderful fantasy sequences and still manages to be highly involving and deeply moving.The performances are all exemplary.

An easy watch but nothing exceptional

It's a French erotica to some extent so you must know that before hand. It doesn't do anything wrong but it has no particularly good or unique qualities in itself to set it apart or make it memorable. The premise is a bit silly, one of those were you need to switch of your brain otherwise you spend the entire time thinking well that's absurd and would never happen in real life. I did kinda enjoy the way it was made, it's very simplistic and a pretty easy watch. I liked the cinematography of the time(early 90's), I've always thought bar sci-fi and action movie, the videography of the time was easy and lighthearted for the eyes, I don't know what that means it just makes sense to me. It boded well for lighthearted movies. As I mentioned it's an erotica, I liked that it's still a movie, not that explicit, it could easily be seen in a cinema and not online sites that are restricted in some countries. You could try to find meaning in this but that'd be reaching really, one of those movies you watch and forget about right after. Not memorable or special, I'm just logging it in because I watched it.
