"Classic movie from director Leos Carax ("Holy Motors"), featuring young Juliette Binoche and Julie Delpy. The film is surprising for being able to mix, in one story, drama, science fiction, romance, thriller... It all starts when a disease appears that affects people who have sex without emotional involvement - which victimizes the younger ones who are in a phase of discovery. But, honestly, words don't do justice to the work. Watch it. As a bonus, the soundtrack includes "Modern Love" by David Bowie; excerpts from the ballet "Romeo and Juliet" by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev; and "Limelight", composed by Charles Chaplin for the classic movie "Limelight"."
