Loulou - 1980 - 6/10

Purely for sex.
Isabel Huppert dumps stolid, if abusive, husband for layabout, petty criminal stud, Gérard Depardieu.
At this time, GD had not turned into Jabba the Hutt, so naysayers don’t get started.
Little narrative “plot” in typical arthouse fare. Wife abandons morally restrictive society for freedom in the alleys.
She does have her own money, however, and never worries about rent, utilities, groceries.
Nor sexual diseases, though Loulou is pre-AIDS.
Story never goes anywhere. Instead characters act as stand-ins for class and expectation.
No, not a lot of fun.
Viewer note - Depardieu is Loulou (for Louis), and one of his male friends is Lulu.
