L'HOMME BLESSÉ (1983) dir. Patrice Chéreau It's summer, the end of adolescence for Henri who does not go on vacation. Accompanying his sister to the station, he meets a man who immediately attracts him. He then discovers another world, nocturnal, masculine, crossed by frustrated desires and sexual violence. Henri becomes the shadow of John, burning with his contact but looking for pleasure and, perhaps, love. (link in title)

Betty Blue (1986). A lackadaisical handyman and aspiring novelist tries to support his younger girlfriend as she slowly succumbs to madness.

While this film is just soaked in masculine fantasy, I still enjoyed the first half as a depiction of a manic romance, particularly Béatrice Dalle's magnetic performance as the titular Betty, but good lord, if it doesn't let itself down in the final act where it pivots from sexist to outright misogynistic. The end of Betty's arc left me pretty furious, and I feel would likely colour any repeat viewing of it. Just - - yeah. Not Good. 4/10.
