- Synopsis
- This highly acclaimed first feature by wunderkind filmmaker Leos Carax (he was only 22 at the time) is an unconventional, moody tone poem that centers on a young man cruising the dark side of Paris. Having just split with his lover, the young man, Alex (Denis Lavant), is depressed and, happening upon a party, decides to crash it. There he meets an aging actress who has also just left her lover, and the two begin a complex relationship that grants them a temporary reprieve from the cruelties of everyday existence.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The director's slight uncertainty creates a fascinating tension that works in 'Boy Meets Girl's' favor. You empathize with the characters' struggles even as they are both kept at a critical distance."
-
"A debut feature of extraordinary passion and vigor."
-
"Ecstatic cinema and ecstatic living join together in a pressurized promise of glory and misery, a flameout waiting to happen-and to be filmed."
