Garrel père reunites with Garrel fils for this frequently tedious rumination on rabid passion that still manages to linger in the mind.
Love is a universe of two in Philippe Garrel's fatalistic romance Frontier of Dawn.
Garrel has mastered a own very personal tone that makes even a minor work such as this feel essential and vital
Tedious fatalistic French melodrama.
Has exquisite cinematography and an initially absorbing and compelling plot which, midway, loses steam and becomes pretentious and awkward while leaving you with a bad aftertaste.
Coupled with Garrel's impassive approached to the material, Frontier of Dawn is a conflicted film whose striking imagery simply cannot make up for the void left by its deficient storytelling.
Audience Reviews for La Frontiere de l'Aube (Frontier of the Dawn)
Pretty good till the supernatural part. Maybe if Carole wasn't so scaring inside (his mind?) the mirror ... What I specially like about this movie is that the story is very recent (she dies in 2007), but we feel in 70's, without any trace of modern life. Brazilian writer Nelson Rodrigues' words describe very well the movie: "love, if not eternal, wasn't love".
