Plots(1)
A shocking and offbeat story of two French lovers, Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) and Betty (Beatrice Dalle), who fall into a deeply erotic and all-encompassing relationship. Zorg is a simple repairman in his mid-thirties who lives a relatively dull life in a remote, weathered shack until he meets Betty, a sexy, mercurial younger woman who challenges his way of thinking and forces him to change his life. When Betty and Zorg are not having wild and uninhibited sex (and joyously traipsing around naked), Zorg is writing his novel, an unpublished masterwork that Betty discovers and vehemently champions. Betty, prone to violent fits of passionate rage, attacks Zorg's boss and burns their shack down. (official distributor synopsis)

I didn't believe that a three-hour film could captivate me, but the duo presented here is so crazy that I couldn't resist them. Zorg and Betty have a destructive relationship. She's a madwoman, and it shows on her, and he can't forgive her. That's precisely why they experience a normal, albeit intense life that can only lead to tragedy, which is very well portrayed in the finale and resonates with the characters and their characteristics. The European approach really resonated with me here.
