SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

kanabuma There are two versions of this movie. One is short version and the other is lengthy uncut version. Short version is just another romantic drama movie. Nothing special. But the uncut version is a real masterpiece. The experience of watching this movie is not like watching it as a spectator; but as a participant. If the actors felt happy, we feel it. If they are crying, we too are crying. If they made love, we feel the pleasure of it. Such strong acting. It is the experience of watching the actual lives of two people through a secret window.

Vihren Mitev It will come out that three-hour movies are good. But in our times, I think, the people who would watch or even make such a long movie are very few. I stay fan of the format.Now, in the beginning I thought that I will watch an erotic movie. I did not guess. Then I thought that I am watching some idealization of the perfect relationship. I guessed partly. In the final I was drifted away by the harmonic melody of the couples and by the natural advance of the events in their life but then I was released in a shock situation that I witnessed.Natural advance of the events in their life is the key to this riddle. Let to the most intimate in the relationship of the both lovers, there was not possible not to co-experience and the good and the bad that was happening to them. Their relation, maybe, is an example for the man's and woman's relations, although that his yielding seemed to me like a gallant escape of showing who commands at home. There was a symbiosis. But if every man gets a woman like in this movie, the bright future will be cloudy with possible chances to rain.I wished the end to be positive. In this case - we leave place to the creative working and text-making, woman's hope and mysteriousness.http://vihrenmitevmovies.blogspot.com/

satxfan I saw this film when it came out in the late 1980s. At that time, I was dazzled by the story and locations and I was seduced by the beauty of the two leading actors. Despite those good points, I didn't like the character of Betty (Beatrice Dalle.) I've just watched the nearly 3-hour Director's Cut on DVD. This time, watching Betty's madness was tedious and downright unpleasant. I still liked the locations and cinematography, but had no patience for watching an off-the-rails, self-centered young woman create havoc and unhappiness for those around her. I still recommend the film to anyone who hasn't seen it, but it's nowhere near as good a film as Beiniex's "Diva."

insomniac_rod Oh Betty Blue! Probably the first soft core sex movie I ever watched. To be honest, I was a young kid that only wanted to explore sexuality through movies. You know, hormones are at it's peak when you are starting to explore sex.Years later, watching the director's cut I was amazed on how solid and sexual the script is.The sex scenes shouldn't be important and are only perceptible because of the passion and caring about each other between the couple.I don't think I have seen a movie with a plot like this. And the sexuality was a strong factor to keep the atmosphere in the movie.This is a great dramatic feature supported by sexuality and passion.
