Description:
Jeanne and Dragan meet in a Paris bookshop - she’s working there, he’s looking for a book on the Italian painter Rossetti. The two strike up a passionate affair, but Dragan doesn’t tell her that he is in the country illegally.
One of the best films at 1999’s Edinburgh Film Festival, Lovers marks the directorial debut of Jean-Marc Barr. It’s the perfect antidote to the feminist New Wave (Romance, La Nouvelle Eve). Taking the premise of love at first sight, between a bookstore clerk (Elodie Bouchez, La Vie Revee Des Anges) and a refugee artist, Barr creates an intense film focussed entirely on (the faces of) his protagonists. Partially improvised, filmed at a crazy speed around Paris, the movie feels surprisingly fresh given its ingredients (lovers, Paris, art), because of its honesty, and integrity. An overlooked gem.
