LouLou (1979)
DIRECTOR: Maurice Pialat
CAST: Gérard Depardieu; Guy Marchand
SYNOPSIS
When married
woman Nelly meets Loulou (Gearard Depardieu), a charming leather-jacketed
stud in a crowed Paris disco, she can't resist his lustful style and returns
home with him. Loulou turns out to be as passionate in bed as on a dance
floor and
the film embarks on their free-wheeling relationshi
NOTE
Although the role
of Nelly was not originally for Isabelle (it was said, first to Sylvia Kristel,
then Isabelle Adjani and Miou Miou), it's obviously one of her finnest
role. - FORUM

It's Maurice Pialat! To him, one said a lot. When I respond to it, one had extraordinary
liberty in this film. It's good. There was a scene Gerard Depardieu and I nude
on a bed. The bed was collapsed under the weight of Gerard! If it needed rehearsal,
one would be still there!... This is the cinema of Pialat, welcome the improvisation,
when it was not improvisible. As for Depardieu ... the great actor who forget
who he is. I only remember Loulou, his force and his
softness.
AWARD
- Official Selection
in Competition at Cannes Film Festival, 1980
- Best Actress Nomination for Cesar, 1981
TRIVIA
The
film took long time to make, almost two years. Both Isabelle and Gerard knew Pialat
was a hard director. During the shooting, He once disappeared for three days,
and let his first assitant continue working. After
finishing Loulou, Isabelle left for USA for"Heave's Gate", then went
back to Godard's Passion. There was one scene - in which Isabelle nude in bed
receiving a morning telephone from Guy Marchand, that Pialat wanted to re-shoot
but never made it. (Cahier du Cinema, March, 1994)
