This beautiful and stimulating movie continues Beineix's orientation towars socially marginal male anti-establishmentarian characters on a romantic quest. The visual lyricism and meditative nature of this film are wonderful, although the plot seems less coherent than in Diva. If you liked that latter film, this is definitely worth seeking out and watching for similar elements, a whiff of contemporary France's multiculturalism and inequality and a deeper sense of longing for romantic or spiritual fulfillment. Beineix can be faulted for keeping the female characters in this film on the level of pure archetype, but this male pseudo-Butch-and-Sundance road movie has humor, keen visuals and variety.
