Synopsis
Francois and Lilie fall in love against the backdrop of the May 1968 student riots in Paris, but will their relationship stand the test of this turbulent time?

Strikingly shot in black & white and winner of a Silver Lion award at the 2005 Venice Film Festival - By detailing this difficult chapter in French history, Regular Lovers makes for a great companion piece to Bernardo Bertolucci's THE DREAMERS.

5.0 out of 5 stars slow burning genius, 3 Dec 2006

By	S. Marshall "bertie marshall" (uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i loved this......3 hours or more of sooty b/W dream footage may 68 paris riots...pretty boys and some girls smoke opium and hang out.....

m.garrel has been making films since the mid 60s - using icons such as Nico, anita pallenberg and jean seberg.......

this film is like a succession of beautiful stills that capture chaos..... cars on fire in b/w are breathtaking ...and ms garrel's extrodinary son /actor Louis, who plays lost boy who falls for the wrong girl,sitting around empty apartments with other bored rich boys - Louis, the directors son is part of a new generation of young actors who are sexy, beautiful and can really in habit their roles -sad, sadisitc,sensual - garrel is a master of cinematic poetry, in the same vein/vain as Cocteau.........
for those who love to dream in the company of beauty - light up and buy it

3.0 out of 5 stars Great film, but flawed, 26 Dec 2006

By	Makhabane - See all my reviews

This film is an attempt to give a serious and true account (to use the director's word) of the events of May 68 and their personal aftermath. That aim is ultimately political, and the film succeeds in being a testimony against forgetting, and against the revisionist and reactionary view of the 1960s which seems to have taken hold in the west since the 1980s.

However, as a work of art, the film is seriously flawed: It is about an hour too long. The dream sequences add nothing to either plot or character development -- one dream, for heaven's sake, shows rioters in period costume, in case we were too stupid to know the connections between 1968 and earlier riots in Paris. The film seems to unfold as if improvised -- eg, we learn that the main protagonist's girlfriend (whose name we don't learn immediately) is a sculptor who works in a foundry; then we see her sculpting; then we see a scene in a foundry -- it's as if the first line about her occupation was improvised, and so the director thought, "Oh, she's said she's a sculptor, so let's try doing a scene in her studio now." Finally, let me mention the long, lingering sequences where nothing is said, nothing happens, and nobody moves, as if the director has gone outside for a cigarette and left the camera running by mistake, and forgotten to tell the actors -- We were bored with this when Warhol did it, and it is still boring. This shows great disrespect for the audience, as if our attention did not matter a jot.

The commercial DVD contains a panel discussion at the Venice Film Festival, with the director, Philippe Garrel, two of the stars (including his son, Louis) and the producer on stage. The director completely dominates the discussion with long-winded and rambling replies to questions, and with a lack of humour that is itself almost comic. (This is in contrast to his son, who appears to have a keen, dry sense of humour.) When you see the director at work in this panel discussion, all the weaknesses of the film become understandable.

A great film, with great acting, undermined by the very personal flaws of the director.

2.0 out of 5 stars Opium or dross ?, 11 Feb 2007

By	L. Davidson (Belfast, N.Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I wanted to like this film , but I found myself unable to warm to it at all. "Regular Lovers" is a rambling and inconsequential film where nothing much happens apart from artistic types hanging out in apartments smoking opium when they're not out rioting . This virtually plot free film lasts for nearly three hours and I must admit that spending Saturday night watching it was an ill advised choice. It was hard to identify or empathise with any of the characters and there was little new insight provided into "les evenements" of 1968.A quickly forgettable and overrated film .
