La Lune Dans Le Caniveau
''The Moon in the Gutter'' (french: La Lune dans le caniveau) is a 1983 French drama film directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix. It was entered into the 1983 Cannes Film Festival. Although it immediately followed Beineix's big, commercial success ''Diva'' and featured two very big stars, Gérard Depardieu and Nastassja Kinski, ''The Moon in the Gutter'' was not well received by critics or audiences and failed at the box office with only 625,000 admissions in France. Its vivid visual style was noted by critics. It preceded a much better-appreciated cult success from the same director, known in the U.S. and UK as ''Betty Blue''. The film was based on a 1953 pulp-noir novel of the same name, written by David Goodis, but it was transferred in the film script from the docksides of Philadelphia to Marseille. ''La Lune dans le caniveau'', according to AllMovie, "received uneven reviews on its initial release". It won a French Cesar Award for its production design. Synopsis Two women: Loret ...
