    Argentina is the Betty Blue of monetary policy, and its peso is the beach shack where that movie begins. It would be comedy gold watching the Trump II admin chain the Fed to that relationship, if it weren't coming at a time when the Fed and $ are facing some very serious credibility issues already.

    For my #80sTop30 choice tonight, I may be breaking the rules & face disqualification. At number 7, I have chosen the soundtrack to the film Betty Blue. That’s the English title of the film & it’s the title most people are familiar with. I adore the music. Haven’t watched the film for many years.

    I loved French film director Jean-Jacques Beineix's film 37.2 Le Matin (aka Betty Blue, 1986), and especially the breakout performance by Béatrice Dalle, described variously as "a walking grenade," "one-woman Vietnam," "the patron saint of the abyss," and "Joan of Arc: the suicide bomber version"...

    ‘37°2 le matin,’ (1986) known in English as ‘Betty Blue,’ depicts an all-consuming romance and a tragic descent into madness. Directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix, the film stars Béatrice Dalle and Jean-Hugues Anglade.

    Known in English as Betty Blue, a very good film (particularly in its longest form) that I love along with the director's Diva, Roselyne and the Lions, and IP5. I think Jean-Jacques Beineix is a bit overlooked these days.

    It was already named Betty Blue & the film (37'2 le matin) is one of my all time faves so that was pretty much a deal clincher 😁 I need to have an official address for vehicle insurance so I can't give it up but the van will allow me to view other properties further afield or other options.

    A few more thoughts about Betty Blue 1) the houses / apartments all look real and lived in, something I’m only realising now is often absent in modern film & 2) the sex looks real & lived in as well; sometimes passionate but also tired, emotional, stressed-out, loving etc - and NECESSARY

Superb all around, with stars Anglade & Dalle especially standing out. Not for everyone, but well worth seeking out. And a #Caturday bonus:

    Just yesterday I was wondering why France doesn’t make movies like 37°2 Le Matin anymore. Then last night I watched Tout le Bleu du Ciel, which not only name-checked Betty Blue but also had scenes shot at Gruissan Plage. And the movie had parallels to Betty Blue. Loved it!

    I am well aware that plenty of people really do not like the film Betty Blue, and I understand why. However…….I loved it at the time and watched it repeatedly, and the soundtrack is one of my favourite pieces of music so that’s why I’ve included it in my #80sTop30. I’m not going to rewrite history.

    Bertolucci's The Dreamers - ever since I saw Betty Blue all those years ago, the crazy hot French woman thing has actually been a turn off for me (I mean from a filmgoer's perspective, of course) and this was no exception. Could have been a good movie, I couldn't really tell. I was too annoyed.
