Based on actual events, it tells the story of sexy, free-spirited Lili, a Parisian art student who falls for a charismatic bank robber and joins him on the run, a dizzying cross-continent escape through Spain, Morocco and Greece, when a sudden betrayal leaves her stranded in the middle of nowhere. Visually stunning, À Tout de Suite is a mesmerizing account of one woman's breathtaking journey of self-discovery. © -- Cinema Guild [More]

Reviews for A Tout de Suite
If you're not careful, A Tout De Suite--Benoit Jacquot's ode to the French New Wave, infused with his love of American crime classics 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'Badlands'--will fool you.
Opaque stares and pregnant pauses can only pull so much weight, no matter how snazzy the packaging.
Evokes the feel and the sensibility of the New Wave while retaining a decidedly contemporary tone.
The movie oozes stylish filmmaking, but the art house angst quickly gets stale. Right Now, hhmmm - maybe later, maybe much later, ok, maybe never.
Benoit Jacquot's drama creates a sense of dislocation with its impossible-to- predict-what-will- happen-next plot, jumpy black-and-white cinematography, elusive characters and casual approach to the time in which it's set.
This is a film of disturbing emotional power and frank sexuality that is photographed in sensuous black and white.
Whether focused on Lili's face or standing back to take in her long limbs, Caroline Champetier's enthralling black-and-white camerawork is at once nimble and evocative.
Le Besco has an amazingly shaped face that, alone, takes you through most of the movie.
Should deliver to that core of filmgoers who respond to anything French, edgy, well-reviewed and well-done.
Jacquot seems unwilling to either shape his story or offer commentary, a standard New Wave strategy that, in this instance, makes for a tale as vague as it is nouvelle.
[Isild Le Besco] has an unusual look and the ability to appear unformed, hard, vulnerable and sexy all at once.
A downward spiral of destitution...like a soul jogging in place in Purgatory.
Depicts one young French woman's escape into a world of wild love, danger, freedom, and adventure.
