Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
mov_maniac Amazing performance from Richard Gere. Got to hand it to him,right from start to finish he steals the show and he is well complimented by Valérie Kaprisky.A care free living in the moment attitude as he cruises around the city stealing cars and is in love with the lovely valerie who doesn't love him at first but she falls for his attitude as he makes her smile and she says in one scene "i am free when i am with you jesse". simply in love with the movie theater scene. the chemistry between the two was mesmerizing to watch as this one leaves you truly breathless. Do not miss this one out guys because you are in for one helluva ride!!
Miles burton Jim McBride's remake of 'A Bout De Soufflé' comes a young, handsome Richard Gere who is a wonderer of the streets. When Gere gets in the papers, he becomes noticed by everyone, he has to quickly leave town as soon as he can without anyone notices before the police come and take him away, on the way, he falls in love with a young, beautiful school pupil. Gere's performance was brilliant as usual, I didn't really used to care for Gere's performances, like 'Pretty Woman' but in this it shows that he is a very willing and committed Actor and he can take on any role that comes his way. The film has songs by Jerry Lee Lewis throughout it, and one in particular that leaves the film on a high.... Breathless.
croftpydy Richard Gere acts like a total geek in this movie. stuck on jerry lee lewis music which blieves he is like him. a pretty boy car thief hoodlum wannabe. he acts more like a girl than the girl who hes attracted to... shaking and gyrating like hes Elvis or something. what a wimp!!! i didn't like the movie when it came out and i don't like the movie now that i have just watchd it again. the actress is worth watchn and does a great job. she makes the movie worth while. cop killer.. an accident that couldn't have happened to a better character. no recommendation here! like most of the other reviewers said, the ending was stupid too. only in the movies!!!
BenAordure I don't particularly like L.A., I don't particularly like Gere I consider to be a single-role-abled actor, I don't like remake films generally, especially American french-originated ones, but I like this film.First of all, Gere is for sure in one of his best performances. The story is a little insignificant but this is where Gere performs : perfectly embodying his foolish character he actually gives all its credibility to the film. Kaprisky supports well her co-actor and renders well evolving emotions she feels for her lover starting with amusement evolving in feelings ending in impossible-love. Maybe Kaprisky is less astonishing nonetheless undoubtedly the two actors respond well together and we really understand their yet complicated relation.But above all, I like the directoring. Because of the freshness of it. For example the scene involving Gere and Kaprisky feeling the wind blowing through the heat of the city. Or the scene at the university in which Gere is trying to persuade Kaprisky to follow him in which he seems really human by being a little too sticky. Or the excellent last scene, leaving the spectator imagining the ending.Also L.A. is well photographed, obviously, and the general atmosphere of the city is well rendered. The numerous shuffled places show the variety of it. And the way the camera is handled makes you feel you actually live the city.
