Let it guide our feelings

French post-wave stylist LEOS CARAX likes to use pop music to guide his scenes, often from DAVID BOWIE, and often with his favorite actor DENIS LEVANT jumping around and/or dancing.

This clip, from the 1986 film MAUVAIS SANG (Bad Blood) might just be one of my favorite scenes ever. The spirit of the New Wave and the deep romanticism of CARAX anchor the scene, but LEVANT's exuberant run down the street to MODERN LOVE is what made it famous.
