Je t'aime (1976)

Je t’aime: Directed by Serge Gainsbourg. With Jane Birkin, Joe Dallesandro, Hugues Quester, Reinhard Kolldehoff. The petite waitress Johnny works and lives in a truck-stop, where she’s lonely and longs for love. She develops a crush on the garbage truck driver Krassky, although her sleazy boss Boris warns her that he’s gay.

“The story line was intriguing but the film could have been so much better, like with a better script, better actors, better direction etc. Apart from the u0026#39;Je Tu0026#39;aimeu0026#39; song, the music in this film is particularly inappropriate. When I think of Joe Dallesandro the word u0026#39;woodenu0026#39; comes to mind, and the others taking part are on a similar level, although Jane Birkin should get a mention for effort. Nothing much happens apart from the garbage truck driver attempting anal sex with the waitress. The question remains, did they finally achieve this satisfactorily in the back of the truck, or had he inadvertently managed to find the right hole? I donu0026#39;t suppose Iu0026#39;ll ever know.”
