I was wondering if anybody knew the name of the Nico song that plays in this movie? There's also a song that i think was credited to the Kings that plays in the nightclub sequence. Any leads to these questions would be appreciated, vraiment. thanks.
shareHello, don't know about Nico's song, but for the other one you asked, it's The Kinks (not the kings) and the song is called "this time tomorrow".
shareThe Nico song is a live version of "Vegas" which was recorded and released in 1981, thirteen years after the film is set!
shareYes it's a very noticeably post-punk song and really jars with the 1968/9 setting. Not sure if that was deliberate on Garrel's part or if so what point he was trying to make.

It may have something to do with the fact that he had lived with Nico at one time. Also, you may have noticed that the actors/plot contain no references to The French New Wave directors such as Truffaut and Godard, who were of very vital importance to that whole late 60's Paris. I think Garrel's reason for this is that the style of the film, itself, is a total homage to the films of people such as Godard. Certain things are thrown into the film that are supposed to jar you away from the plot and back to the film style itelf. Godard, etc, did this all of the time by doing such things as purposely having a film crew come across the screen right in the middle of the film. It was to remind you that the act and style of the making the film is as important as any narrative. It's like a Jackson Pollock painting. The subject matter is irrelevant. The actual act of the painting, and the paint on the canvas, is, in itself what's important.

On the other hand there is one scene where a movie of Bertolucci is mentioned, and I kind of saw this as a replique to 'The Dreamers' which has that many common things in theme and ambience with 'Les Amants Reguliers'.

Garrel apparently borrowed some of the extras from the Bertolucci film and of course his son Louis is in both films and their productions overlapped at one point. But at the same time I doubt this film is a "reply" to Bertolucci as such. The two directors are good friends and Garrel is quite happy that The Dreamers is, questions of quality aside, a pro-May '68 film that would be seen by an international audience unlike his own film which would have a more modest audience.
But that scene however doesn't just refer to Bertolucci, it's a specific allusion to his Before The Revolution which has more in common with Les Amants Reguliers in it's lyrical poetic style and it's beautiful black-and-white cinematography. Garrel's film is about "after the revolution". Fabrizio, the character in the former film(a stand-in for Bertolucci) is a Marxist who feels trapped by his middle-class background and tries his best to leave that only to decide that he "feels a nostalgia for the present" and decides to go back to being a middle-class conformist(the kind of person Bertolucci feared he had become). With Garrel, his film is about people who burn themselves out in the wake of "the revolution".
