Vital and vigorous even when its characters feel scraped of vigor/vitality, Philippe Garrel's latest finds boho Parisians facing the ends of marriages, affairs, and the feasibility of bohemian existence itself.

Jealousy is less cynical than it sounds. While certainly no love story, this dry-eyed tale feels achingly, maybe even exhilaratingly alive.

My rating is not exactly a rave but the 2 things I most liked: 1. Mouglalis, 9 years younger than Cate Blanchett of whom she reminds me but w/ dark hair. Her character (in this) super-neurotic but super-irresistible (great combo, of course); and 2. the black-and-white photography, by a Belgian who is new to me but not new. The film is relentlessly low-key in a way that's bound to make some people dislike it. For me, not the greatest thing since French toast but my feellings about it are tentative but not dismissive.

Jealousy — arguably the slightest film Garrel has produced since the 1980s — may not add up to a whole lot, but its sense of life and the medium is, as always, substantial and accomplished.

Never a full-on character piece or even an exploration of the titular sentiment, Jealousy instead offers moments of quiet tragedy in some seemingly innocent throwaway moments

Quiet moments after big decisions are where the power lies in this absorbing French drama.

Conventional dramatic hooks have no place in Garrel's filmography, so it's not surprising that his new movie is more atmospheric than involving, or that the two beautiful bed heads at its center hardly invite emotional connection.

I am usually fond of French movies and have high expectations if critics reviews are favorable. One of few good things about this movie is that it is relatively short: 77 minutes. What else is good? The girl, Charlotte, is so sweet. Actors performance is decent. That's about it. The movie is pretentious, shot in black-and-white. The script does not make much sense, characters actions are not reasonable. Not much of a story, not much of a form. I did not feel any empathy towards any of the characters. Overall: do not waste your time and money.
