A perceptive view of mental illness,or porn? - By: Franz Bieberkopf, 13 Nov 2008
Don't watch this if you are easily offended-lashings of nudity(both male & female) & realistic sex scenes abound.
It's about the relationship between a couple,and as it disintergrates,the unhinging of the female half of the couple.Beatrice Dallle is both gorgeous & a great actor,and the photography & soundtrack are fine. Well worth a watch for the open-minded viewer.
Love's Roller Coaster - By: L. Davidson, 01 Jan 2006
"Betty Blue" is never less than captivating from start to finish. The film is a love story about two misfits who become soul mates; Zorg is an unambitious handyman with ambitions to become a writer, while Betty is a beautiful , but mentallly disturbed waitress with a violent streak. Their love affair develops as they move from the coast first to Paris & then to a village in the mountains. The acting & characterisation is superb as is the storyline & cinematography . "Betty Blue" captures the essence of the roller coaster ride of deep obsessional love ; the powerful sense of profound vitality & purpose mixed with anxiety & despair at the prospect of it's loss. My only criticism of the film would be that I thought it was a little overlong at three hours, although it was never boring, & the end was a bit harrowing too. "Betty Blue" was groundbreaking in its day with regards to the copious amount of nudity & the ,ammm, very realistic sex scenes displayed in the film. So don't watch it you find that offensive.
