Movie Info
Jean-Claude (Gérard Depardieu) and Pierrot (Patrick Dewaere) are crooks. They're not experts, but they're competent enough to make their way through France by knocking over stores and lifting cars. They also have plenty of sexual conquests, including one with the young, attractive Marie-Ange (Miou-Miou), and the older ex-con, Jeanne (Jeanne Moreau). But the duo isn't simply suave; in addition to their crimes, they mistreat women without regret -- which could come back to haunt them.

May 27, 2012This is a pretty damn good movie, all things considered. I mean it only becomes like that in the last act of the movie or so, when Jeanne's son gets out of prison. I think everything leading up to that, however, doesn't manage to stand out as much. I mean the movie is never bad, Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere have great chemistry with each other and it's definitely refreshing to see a movie, even if it's almost 40 years old, that treats its characters without much in the way of sentimentality. Hell the main characters are definitely easily unlikable, but the movie doesn't try to present them as anything other than that. It would be far more offensive if these men, who would do favors for women just so they can get laid, if the movie tried to make them into good and likable characters. At least whoever wrote the movie recognized that. Not to say there isn't many funny moments in the movie because there are, especially in the last act of the movie. The problem I have with the majority of the movie is that it seemed to be going nowhere for a lot of it. Yes these guys were on the run, but I don't think much of note happened. The one thing the movie did do, and I wasn't expecting it, is touch on the homosexual undertones between these two characters. It's only mentioned in one scene and never again, but at least they touched on it since you could've, and I did before that scene, made the assumption these guys had something with each other just in how the way they acted around women. But the movie could've used a bit shortening, maybe shave off 20 or so minutes, and you could've easily done that. Again the movie is definitely very good, despite it's rough start, I'd recommend it.

Aug 14, 2010an anarchic road trip movie, very much of it's time (1970s). the french title les valseuses translates to 'the waltzers,' a slang term for testicles, so the film should probably be called 'the balls.' there's plenty of sex as the two buddies try to make every woman they encounter, in between robberies and stealing cars. jeanne moreau has a touching role as an older woman just released from prison and also look for a very young isabelle huppert. much fun and not for the prudish.Stella D Super Reviewer
