2.0 out of 5 stars Painful, 10 Aug 2006
Ugly cinematography, embarrassing dialogue, unpleasant characters; even the subtitles were strewn with errors. It probably didn't help that I watched Rendez-vous straight after Claude Sautet's glorious Nelly et Monsieur Arnaud, a tough act for any to follow.

At least the actors appear to give it their all. Perhaps Techine had convinced them they would be starring in a film of importance and profundity rather than the pretentious, bone-headed nonsense that actually resulted.

Finally, if your interest is primarily an unobscured view of Ms Binoche's lovely form then I recommend instead the infinitely [..] The Unbearable Lightness of Being, also available on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Birth of a French superstar, 14 April 2007
By D. Hanlon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I couldnt agree less with the previous review. "Rendez-Vous" is a moving and original examination of obsessive passion.

Winner of Best Director at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival, Téchiné's film marks Juliette Binoche's first starring role. As the eighteen year old Nina, Binoche gives a remarkable performance that would begin an exemplary career.

The film tells Nina's story as she arrives in Paris without a home or a job, but with high aspirations of becoming an actress. She meets the young and sincere Paulot, who wants a relationship with Nina. She however is more interested in his flatmate, the dangerous and depressed Quentin. This relationship also brings a third man into her life, the enegmatic theatre director Scrutzler.

Téchiné's film follows Nina as she goes from a naive ingenue to a cinical and worldweary Parisian. Binoche is a revelation here. She trusts Téchiné and it shows.

The dialogue in the film is often lyrical and romantic, but it carefully captures the raw emotion of the central characters, while the cinematography by Renato Berta conveys the decaying reality of lowdown Paris.

All in all "Rendez-Vous" is a great Téchiné and a great Binoche.

DVD is good quality but has no extras

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty grim, really -avoid, 9 Aug 2007
By Apple-eater "Severn Boy" (Worcestershire, England) - See all my reviews
Ok, it has its redeeming features.

The story really is unusual, and there's nothing wrong with seeing a young Mlle Binoche. Very easy on the eye.

However, the story is a complete let-down. A promising beginning just meanders away into nothing, and at the end, you really wonder why you bothered watching.

This was in many ways a typical example of the worst of French cinema and literature, pretentious and ultimately meaningless.
