You have amazing scenes here. The energetic and nail biting heist scene, the sky-diving scene, and of course, the scene in which Chatterbox runs down the street to "Modern Love" by David Bowie. How shamelessly Noah Baumbauch stole this scene for Frances Ha, which compared to Mauvais Sang is a sophomore year, film school project. This is a master class in filmmaking. However, it's conversation scenes lag on for far too long, don't amount to much, and extend the run time of the film. It didn't need to be two hours.

Well I know I am the only one till now who is going to write against this movie so I don't anticipate any appreciation but who cares.First of all, I'll be completely honest with you I am not a much fan of foreign specially art type movies.The only reason I watched this because I like actresses July Delpy and Juliette binoche.But this movie sucked completely,I mean you can find this movie with the tags sci fi(just some laser rays),thriller(absolutely not),romance(kind of but ewww!!!),music(well honestly sometimes I was waiting for someone to speak) and blah blah. The main thing that struck me is why a hero had to be so ugly or may be he was shown , he has an awfully thin face black teeth with big gaps and anorexic body I mean most of the time I couldn't look at him and to add to misery two old men with two such completely gorgeous women Ohh GODNow as per the cinematography goes yeah it is different and I couldn't comprehend sometimes.The only colours I could remember are Blue and red. And yes if you think that this movie is thriller then completely no,they say everything that is going to happen and you just have to wait and let the time pass.I didn't find it thrilling a bit.If you are someone who likes to watch oceans ,MI ,JAMes bond then stick to those watch them again and you wont get disappointed

A few years ago, I came across a PAL VHS copy of Leos Carax's debut feature, BOY MEETS GIRL (1984), and now that I've caught up with the rest of his filmography, I regret passing on it...! BAD BLOOD promises to be several things a treatise on a society coming to its first realization of the ravages of a sexually-transmitted disease (read AIDS), a caper movie involving the stealing of a highly-requested anti-"AIDS" serum, etc. but ends up being a romantic love story and a vintage Hollywood pastiche of sorts: Carax admitted in an interview that the film was inspired by the Alan Ladd/Raoul Walsh actioner, SALTY O' ROURKE (1945)! The film has a good mix of veteran (Michel Piccoli and Serge Reggiani) and upcoming talent (Juliette Binoche and Julie Delpy) but the main character is played by Denis Levant; curiously enough, he dies in this one but in Carax's following movie, THE LOVERS OF THE BRIDGE (1991; also with Levant and Binoche), the main character sports the same name of the one Levant plays here and, as a matter of fact, Binoche also makes references to Julien and Marion who also "feature" in LOVERS!! Actually, it appears that Carax's first 3 features are supposed to be taken as a loose trilogy.While BAD BLOOD isn't a total success, it is occasionally quite inspired: when David Bowie's "Modern Love" blurts out from the radio, Levant goes out dancing in the streets (pun intended) but his exuberant dance routine is soon cut short when Binoche turns off the radio; a completely irrelevant sepia-tinged sequence of a gamine and her little child is set to the strains of Charlie Chaplin's score from THE KID (1921); Piccoli and Reggiani's first meeting in an airfield becomes a pantomime routine akin to Silent slapstick comedies; and, most hilariously, an American thug also after the serum mistakes a fellow diner in a restaurant for Jean Cocteau but when Levant tells him that Cocteau is dead, he deadpans: "No
look..he's moving!".
