I saw this film during the Berlin film festival February 2005. Before the film a guy representing the directors read a letter in french in front of the audience. I didn't understand it completely, but I think he said that what we were going too see was pure fiction and should not be seen as representing some reality in France. The film is about a young couple and their friends who are very much into the lifestyle of the fifties in USA, she a Marylin Monroe lookalike, the guys beer drinking and with tattoos and denim wear and listening to bands specialising in old rock'n'roll from that decade. The film ends with a racist fight outside a concert in Le Havre and the young men humiliating the girl. About 20% of the audience left before it had ended, and I admit it was hard to see where the film was going. But it made me think, as this was a very unusual film, filmed in a bleach black and white and the ending made me recall Les Quatre Cents Coups.
