Wild and unpredictable, such is young love - Betty Blue review by CP Customer
Firstly I am surprised that there are no Reviews yet on Cinema Paradiso, which has a world cinema bias? So here goes.
The director makes the most of Beatrice Dalle from every angle, but for me she is sexy with her clothes on. And at her best showing the innocence of youth. Watch out for a later scene, when she is happy with her news. Seeing her smile is a joy.
This Director's Cut version is long, so settle in and get comfortable. But I enjoyed the extra hour. This is a film for anyone who has known passionate women, who may be unpredictable at times in the month. Hard to live, with and live without.
Don't read too many detailed reviews or view spoiler clips. Just enjoy Betty Blue.

Blast From the Past - Betty Blue review by SM
I first saw this film when it was released ... I was living in France then, and this certainly added to my enjoyment of the film - I was so proud to be able to follow the dialogue! But apart from this, I remember just being blown away by this film...very moving and powerful performances. This film will take you by the throat and shake you. I can't wait to watch it again.
