“The gritty decors combine interestingly with a dreamlike plot, pitting the hero and his u0026quot;borderlineu0026quot; brother against the hostility of his home town, inflamed by his return, after his motheru0026#39;s death, with his Marilyn-Monroe-imitating girlfriend/fiancee. Although the conclusion is a bit facile, this film should go down in history for Pauline Lafontu0026#39;s – and the directoru0026#39;s – creation of Lilas. Incarnating a male fantasy leavened with reminiscences of her mother Bernadetteu0026#39;s powerful performance in Nelly Kaplanu0026#39;s _La fiancee du pirate_, Lafont generates more sheer sexual magnetism than any other woman I have ever seen on screen, whether rated R or XXX. Itu0026#39;s wrenching to recall that this vibrant young woman died in an accident a year later at the age of 25.”
