LES BAISERS DE SECOURS

Emergency Kisses
by Philippe Garrel
Country: France
Year: 1988
Duration: 83'


"The parents of Mathieu, the character I play, are separated. Mathieu understands that he went down the road in the opposite direction. He won his wife back to live with his son. He wants to go down a different road. When you are very young, you are convinced that you will never have any children. It is not good. It is not bad, either. It is just the philosophy of youth. Then one day you have a baby. You betray your own youth, but it is not a choice of quality. One simply does the opposite." (Interview by Thierry Jousse, "Cahiers du Cinéma", n. 415, January, 1989).
