Betty Blue, in either of its forms – whether it be the 121-minute theatrical version or the 185-minute director’s cut – takes a bad situation and makes it true-blue and beautiful.
If Betty Blue plays into the salacious archetype of the “liberated” foreign film, at least it repays you with real feelings of earthiness.
Like Zorg, we are bedazzled by Betty's bright eyes, big moue and wild child's ways.
An extraordinarily sensual movie with its own silly integrity.
Too often, Betty Blue has the posturing good looks of a fashion spread and nothing more.
Betty Blue is a movie about Beatrice Dalle's boobs and behind, and everything else is just what happens in between the scenes where she displays them.
