Regular Lovers / Les Amants réguliers
Series: 1968: An International Perspective [April 29-May 14]
Director: Philippe Garrel, Country: France, Release: 2005, Runtime: 178

“One knockout of a film ŕ clef!” - Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York

The events of May 1968 and their disappointing aftermath have always been at the heart of Philippe Garrel's work. Regular Lovers is Garrel's achingly beautiful memorial to the moment itself, and to the poignant confusion felt by French youth who tried to keep the spirit of revolt alive as they grappled with adulthood. A young poet (played beautifully by the director's son Louis) witnesses the conflagration during a night on the barricades and experiences the euphoria of love and communal freedom followed by the inevitable moment when reality comes to collect its due. Garrel fashions an intimate poetic epic, which harkens back to the silent films of Louis Feuillade and the poetry of Baudelaire and Gérard de Nerval in its austere yet romantic vision of Paris by night and day.
