1999 / 134min / 35mm
Carax takes on Herman Melville’s most challenging (and virtually career-killing) novel, Pierre; or the Ambiguities, in this mournful full-blooded melodrama starring Guillaume Depardieu as a fashionable and well-off novelist who takes a headfirst plunge into incestuous amour fou and lowlife danger after meeting a half-wild war refugee from Eastern Europe (Yekaterina Golubeva) who proclaims herself the sister he never knew he had. Featuring a Scott Walker score, Sonic Youth cameo, graphic sex scenes, and an abiding air of outraged anguish.
