FELIX & LOLA / LOVE STREET

SUBTITLED

One night, aging carny bumper car operator Felix (Philippe Torreton) had an unusual patron-the much younger Lola (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who rode over and over again alone. He developed a fixation he'd regret, as the mystery girl was running from an abusive lover. Patrice Leconte's moody amour-fou Felix and Lola co-stars Alain Bashung. Then, in Leconte's postwar-set Love Street, unprepossessing brothel handyman Petit Louis (Patrick Timsit) knew he could never have Marion (Laetitia Casta), the young hooker he worshipped, so he sought to better her life in other ways... that would tragically backfire. Vincent Elbaz also stars. 182 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English; theatrical trailers. In French with English subtitles.
