I recently reviewed the outstanding 1986 film Betty Blue by Jean-Jacques Beineix (known best for his post-French New Wave bellewether Diva). More epic than that work, Betty Blue (which I reviewed in its 3-hour director's cut) is both a curious product of the 80s and a fairly timeless love epic with all manner of classical tragic theme and Quixotic digressions. Beautifully composed, packed full of striking colors and elegant compositions, Beineix never loses our attention and interest during frequent asides about French essentialism and unexpected slapstick.
