Preview: Betty Blue: Director's Cut (2009)

Synopsis:

Academy Award-nominated French foreign language film about love, lust and obsession, re-cut by the director and being released in the U.S. for the first time.

• Poster: C+

Review:

There isn't much to say about this poster as it is almost entirely a re-creation (or perhaps re-purposing) of the original promotional poster. Adding the strip announcing it as the director's cut is not an improvement.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

Sexy, evocative and unusual, it's hard not to appreciate the film despite some heavy-handed encouragement by the announcer to see the classic film in theaters.

Oscar Prospects:

Ineligible.

Release Date:

• June 12, 2009
