Going Places

Going Places (Film), released 1974 — adapted from Les Valseuses by Bertrand Blier.

Two whimsical, aimless thugs harass and assault women, steal, murder, and alternately charm, fight, or sprint their way out of trouble. They take whatever the bourgeoisie holds dear, whether it’s cars, peace of mind, or daughters. Marie-Ange, a jaded, passive hairdresser, joins them as lover, cook, and mother confessor. She’s on her own search for seemingly unattainable sexual pleasure.

Starring Gérard Depardieu, Miou-Miou, Patrick Dewaere, Jeanne Moreau, Christian Alers.

Directed by Bertrand Blier.
