Petty thief and street hustler Alex (Denis Lavant) plots to steal a new miracle cure for a deadly new virus on behalf of his gangster friend Marc (Michel Piccoli). But this attracts the notice of a mysterious American woman who also wants the serum.

One of the most notable films of the 80s, this dazzlingly inventive mix of off-beat romance and sci-fi thriller cemented Carax’s reputation as one of the most exciting directors in the world.

A stylish and daring thriller that pushed the film noir genre into exciting new territory.

Carax went on to direct 2012's highly acclaimed Holy Motors, and the new film with Sparks brothers Ron and Russell Mael, Annette.
