When the easygoing would-be novelist Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) meets
the tempestuous Betty (Béatrice Dalle, in a magnetic breakout
performance) in a sunbaked French beach town, it’s the beginning of a
whirlwind love affair that sees the pair turn their backs on
conventional society in favor of the hedonistic pursuit of freedom,
adventure, and carnal pleasure. But as the increasingly erratic Betty’s
grip on reality begins to falter, Zorg finds himself willing to do
things he never expected to protect both her fragile sanity and their
tenuous existence together. Adapted from the hit novel 37°2 le matin
by Philippe Djian, Jean-Jacques Beineix’s art-house smash is a sexy, crazy, careening joyride
of a romance that burns with the passion and beyond-reason fervor of
all-consuming love. In French with English Subtitles.
