We Won't Grow Old Together (Blu-ray), Kino Classics, Drama

Maurice Pialat's We Won't Grow Old Together is the '"ultimate bad break-up movie' (J. Hoberman), a combustible portrait of a couple whose love tears them apart. Jean (Jean Yanne, Weekend), a married 40-year-old filmmaker, and his young working class lover Catherine (Marle'ne Jobert, Masculin Feminin) engage in a circular series of spectacular blow-ups and tentative reunions, their mutual desire a fire that burns them again and again. This relentless masterpiece is 'hard to watch but even harder to look away' (Time Out NY), an end-of-love story for the ages.
