El Sueño de la Razon Produce Monstruos

Regular Lovers (2005)
directed by Philippe Garrel
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix

Just like the Mavericks, Garrel chokes at the very end of the season, and on his way to the Bogdanovich Five, no less. This 178-minute beauty stops about two minutes too late (why can't it conclude with that sweet and ambiguous dream?), but Garrel's shades of gray (both the look and the long romance) are wise enough to match his kind and scarred intentions.



It could have all been yours, Phil!
