invokes the eternal, risks absurdity, invites derision, seduces, shocks, transcends
Time and again, Garrel inserts two lovers inside his meticulous compositions, where they reveal passions that by virtue of their excesses remind us of how drained of life the modern world truly is. He transforms a private reverie into a public sacrament, invokes the eternal, risks absurdity, invites derision, seduces, shocks, transcends.
~ Manohla Dargis, reviewing Phillipe Garrel's Frontier of Dawn.
