others Eustache's movies, works by Truffaut, Rohmer.

Regular Lovers is a movie really close to Eustache. I'd also recomend Godard and early Jarmusch.

Sister, sister, oh so fair, why is there blood all over your hair?

I heard about Regular Lovers but never saw it.

It's one of the best movies that came out the last couple of years.

I can't agree more with you. One of my favourite of all time.

To the original poster who started this thread, I recommand films by Eric Rohmer, a french director that I have just discovered. Le genou de Claire and Pauline à la plage were really great. It reminds me of Eustache's talky style in La Maman et la Putain.

'Brief Crossing', 'Before Sunset', 'My Dinner With Andre' and 'Brief Encounters'

are all films that have a similar feel to them

Rohmer, like someone said - My Night at Maud's (1969) and Claire's Knee (1970). Both intelligent, insightfully-written masterworks. Also, Last Tango in Paris (1972). One thing I like about these four films is they allow their three-dimensional female characters to be as open - uncritically - about sexuality as men.

Really? I'm afraid all I've seen of his is Regular Lovers, mentioned above, and I must have spoiled it for myself by watching it soon after seeing Bertolucci's The Dreamers, again concerning the 1968 revolution. I interpreted it as a riposte to Bertolucci - here are "regular lovers". I'll have to try it again. Bertolucci's lovers are definitely irregular.

And someone else, above, mentioned Last Tango in Paris. I'm fascinated by both Bertolucci and Eric Rohmer, but it's hard to think of two directors who are less similar in their approach. No movie by either could be mistaken for the other.
