Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
dbdumonteil "In spite of its title (=the doomed lovers),"Les Amants Maudits " has nothing romantic ,no Amour Fou ,no chemistry between the two leads ,who have fallen into oblivion (Robert Berri was nonetheless a memorable cop opposite Raymond Souplex in "Identité Judiciaire.") A waiter is sick and tired of his routine life and of the humiliations .He goes for broke and becomes a gangster,the public enemy.A woman follows him,not because she loves him -at least at first sight- but because she's dreaming of luxury (she goes as far as to pretend she is a countess in the casinos).A poor man' s "Bonnie and Clyde" or "Gun Crazy" ,this isn't ,cause the man is a mean macho and the woman double crosses him;it is impossible to be moved by the last scene after all we have seen before.
