MAUVAIS SANG, Leos Carax's iconic second feature opens at Film Forum with a new restoration! 

November 29 - December 5 

Starring DENIS LAVANT, JULIETTE BINOCHE, MICHEL PICCOLI, JULIE DELPY 

Marc and Hans, two old gangsters, are ordered by a rival, the American woman, to repay a debt. They plan to steal the vaccine for a mysterious virus, STBO, which affects those who make love without being in love and is wreaking havoc among teenagers. After the death of their associate Jean, the two accomplices call on his son, Alex, known as "Chatterbox", who is a talented conjuror. Alex, who has just left his girlfriend Lise, falls madly in love with a girl in a white dress he sees on a bus. Her name is Anna and she turns out to be Marc's mistress...

“CARAX'S MOST PURELY DELIGHTFUL WORK! Bittersweet, haunting, and as original and eccentric as homage movies get, infusing arch neo-Godard poetics with grace notes cribbed from Griffith, Chaplin, and Cocteau. [...] This is chiefly a movie of pulse-quickening epiphanies, a somehow cohesive succession of lovely curiosities and intoxicating derangements.”
– Dennis Lim, Village Voice
