In 1965, at the age of 17, Philippe Garrel made the short film Droite de visite, in which his father, stage actor Maurice Garrel, plays himself as an adulterous father whose son visits him when he’s with his mistress in the weekend. Shortly after his father's death, the most romantic but also the most pessimistic of French directors started on an update.
In Jealousy, his son Louis, now a well-known actor (in e.g. Dreamers), more or less crawls inside his grandfather Maurice at the moment when he leaves his wife and cute little daughter for a beautiful actress with a hoarse voice who is without work (Anna Mouglalis). But she is unfaithful too.
Influenced from an early age by Godard and Truffaut, Garrel shows more than ever with this timeless and moving black-and-white film that nouvelle vague still inspires and that Paris is still the romantic capital of the world.
