Two aging crooks are given two weeks to repay a debt to a woman named The American. They recruit their recently deceased partner’s son (Denis Lavant) to help them break into a laboratory and steal the antidote to STBO, a sexually transmitted disease that is sweeping the country that’s spread by having sex without emotional involvement. But the recruit soon falls dangerously in love with his new associate’s lover (Juliette Binoche.) With his exquisitely stylized sophomore feature, Leos Carax cemented his status as one of the boldest filmmakers of his generation. Featuring one of the most exhilarating sequences that use David Bowie’s “Modern Love.”
