Les Amants Reguliers, aka Regular Lovers, P. Garrell, 2004, 178mins, 35mm

In 1969 a group of parisian youth turn to opium after having experienced the liberating effects of the events of 1968. Winner of the Cinematography prize at Venice in 2005, and one of our favourites at the festival. A very powerful, innovative and evocative film about love in a time of personal and political upheaval. A great filmmaker continuing the legacy of the French New Wave, Garrell made several important experimental works in the 60s and 70s including a series with the legendary Nico.
