Betty Blue 1986 -

Betty Blue is not a love story. It’s a horror film about the inability to compromise. We’re meant to be seduced by Betty’s fire, but the real protagonist is Zorg—a man who learns that loving a force of nature means being consumed by it. The film’s lasting power isn’t in its eroticism or its iconic blue poster. It’s in that uncomfortable question it leaves you with: Would you rather be happy or be on fire?

The movie follows the story of Gert (played by Gérard Depardieu), a struggling musician who meets Betty (played by Anémone), a free-spirited and provocative woman. As they begin a tumultuous relationship, Betty's fragile mental state and promiscuity create tension and passion.

Let the saxophone haunt you. You will never forget Betty.
