Description: Zorg, a shy, happy-go-lucky handyman and aspiring writer (Jean-Hughes Anglade) falls in love with Betty, a beautiful, free-spirited young woman (Beatrice Dalle). Betty has trouble with authority and tends to get reckless and sometimes violent when provoked. Zorg finds her manic behavior and cavalier demeanor refreshing as she brings him out of his shell. After Zorg’s slum lord boss voices too many demands Betty tosses everything out of the house and then torches it. Even this exhibition of arson doesn’t phase Zorg as they take off to seek a better life. As the story progresses, Zorg falls deeper in love with Betty and dismisses her increasingly bizarre behavior as quirky. Eventually, an event sets off a time bomb in Betty, and any doubts about her insanity are laid to rest.
37.2 le matin (Betty Blue) is simultaneously an entertaining “slice-of-life” romp, and a sad tragedy. This visually enticing film is perhaps the finest from Jean-Jacques Beineix.
