“MAUVAIS SANG is a salute, at once moody and ebullient, to the cinema of the past and the ferocious intensity of youth.”
—The Village Voice

“A masterpiece of ecstatic cinema.”
—The New Yorker

In a world where loveless sex spreads a deadly virus, a troubled ex-con (Denis Lavant) is forced to steal a cure — while falling for a mob boss’ mistress (Juliette Binoche) as a rival gang plots against him. With a showstopping sequence set to the pulsating sound of David Bowie, this is cinema at its most visceral. “Modern Love,” indeed.
