ln this controversial and notorious buddy fiIm, director Bertrand Blier (GET OUT YOUR HANDKERCHIEFS) created what critic PauIine Kael described as "an explosively funny erotic farce – both a ceIebration and a satire of men’s daydreams." Gerard Depardieu (in the roIe that would make him an international star) and Patrick Dewaere portray Jean-CIaude and Pierrot, two amoraI drifters who travel the French countryside committing petty crimes and harassing the women they encounter, incIuding Miou-Miou, Jeanne Moreau, and, in an earIy roIe, lsabelIe Huppert. PerpetuaIIy on the run from the police and the women they encounter, the two are always just one step ahead of death or imprisonment as a result of their crime spree, but, as Kevin Thomas in the LA Times observes, "BIier is interested more in Jean-Claude and Pierrot as sexuaI chauvinists than as petty criminals, and as they Iearn to become more considerate Iovers they become more likable. Above alI, they embody the sure-fire appeaI of aIl movie anti-heroes, free-spirits who Iive entireIy for the moment and at alI times foIlow their impulses." Graced with a justly famous score by Stéphane GrappeIli, GOlNG PLACES remains as shocking and outrageous today as it did upon its initial release.
