Mauvais Sang (Leos Carax, 1986) - Modern Love

[@MichaelDinic]

I saw this film as a wandering 22 year old living in Paris for a while in the early 1990s. As a lover of cinema I thought this was the most exhilarating, emotional and pure cinematic sequence I'd ever seen. I think I still do. Magical.

[@jesussantos-pena1814]

Pure poetry.pure poésie.

[@sebastianpedone7209]

When Denis Lavant runs to the rhythm of Bowie's Modern Love I feel alive.

[@igormaryanin8811]

I watched this film as a teenager in the early 1990s in a gloomy military garrison-town just outside of Moscow. I was not a lover of cinema, but this exact moment from the movie is still the most emotionally explosive cinematiq sequence I´ve ever seen. I remembered every move of the guy throught all those years, even though I never remembered the name of the movie or the the actors.

[@DanielCPastor]

I agree ☝️

[@pierre-yvesmercier139]

Scène culte ! La course dans la rue sur Modern Love est reprise comme un hommage dans Frances Ha, comme on a pu le voir lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture du festival de Cannes 2024.

[@luckygitane]

This scene is glorious.

[@oscarsimmons2284]

This is one of the most incredible scenes I have ever seen.

[@Maine733]

The acting of Denis Lavant is very physical as he studied the art of the circus. He's great at it!

[@JupyterMercuryo]

I identify with this scene really deeply, I've been living with depression and anxiety for quite a while, and here I see a fantastic depiction of what I have to go through almost everyday. I hope that i dont fall in love again, im tired

[@technodroog]

Ecstatic filmmaking...absolutely amazing. Leos Carax and Denis Lavant are the best director and actor most people never heard of

[@FungusMossGnosis]

Agree, but I'd go with Resnais and Pierre Arditi.

[@niceanddestroyed]

Denis Lavant is quite well known in France, even if he played mostly in auteur movies and theatre. Carax was known for "Les amants du pont-neuf".

[@niceanddestroyed]

@@FungusMossGnosis Arditi is very famous in France and Resnais was.

[@FungusMossGnosis]

@@niceanddestroyed You are correct of course about his fame in Western Europe, and Resnais has gradually been getting better known in America and elsewhere. I've met more cinephiles in California that know Carax than Resnais, but it's probably about even now. When I saw the complete Resnais retrospective in Hollywood in 2000, the audience was only half full opening night, and 20-30% filled other days. I wish so much I could see MURIEL and JE T'AIME, JE T'AIME again on 35mm, since Criterion and Kino botched the color timing.

[@niceanddestroyed]

@@FungusMossGnosis Interesting. Resnais is one of the greatest french movie director. Je t'aime Je t'aime has inspired Michel Gondry to make "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind". He has several differents parts in his work. Don't get mad at me, but never use Western Europe or even Europe when you talk about something related to a european country. Every country in Europe has its own rich culture and history. France can't be related only to Western Europe, as France is totally unique in Europe, especially in the cinema field (and many many others). As Jean-Luc Godard would say either, USA is not America, America is a continent. Sorry to bother you, but it seems that american people from the USA speaks most of the time like this, which is not an accurate way to talk about a european culture. Arditi and Lavant are so french, and i don't think there are that famous in Europe, mostly in France. I have now finished to annoy you, glad you like french cinema, you seem to have good taste and seem very cinéphile. Regards

[@GianlucaGallo]

This scene is just pure magic, that's why David Bowie is the greatest of the 20th century and Carax is a master

[@albi8074]

David Bowie had some excellent songs and he had some very, very bad ones, too. This is from his peak.

[@Ken_Marinaris]

Best scene of the history.

[@Gambitheart]

One of the worlds most amazing actor.

[@AmbroseCadwell]

If there's a perfect film it's Mauvais Sang. If I could choose just one to still be in existence to be watched by people by the time the sun goes out, this would be my pick.

[@rozdere]

run alex run.. u cant escape from love..

[@sofia-ju9yw]

basically still my favourite movie scene

[@seant2357]

Best sequence in a film. Also only just noticed the front LP is the Dead Kennedys fresh fruit. 😁

[@julienbraudel7109]

Carax loves the Dead Kennedys apparently. In his previous movie, "Boy meets girl", he used "Holidays in Cambodia" in a scene.

[@odyssey.studios]

An incredible watch, full of youth, joy and melancholy, such beautiful cinematography, Mauvais Sang is an essential for film lovers.

[@AuSecretDesJours]

Tout simplement le meilleur de Bowie pour une scene poignante.. De la pure poesie!

[@julienbraudel7109]

C'est presque ce que Bowie a fait de pire mais bon, ça reste un bon morceau.

Mauvais Sang is my favorite style-over-substance movie of all time. And I respect Noah Baumbach made the scene tribute in Frances Ha.

[@klimteastward7396]

I note plenty of references to a later picture with a similar running scene. On a fairish scroll through the comments, I cannot see a single mention of the Nouvelle Vague film to which this thrillingly filmed sequence itself pays homage: Les 400 Coups (François Truffaut, 1959) where young Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) escapes from reform school and runs to the sea, before that stunning, final freeze-frame shot. See it.
