Philippe Garrel - Les baisers de secours (1989)
Emergency Kisses
Les Baisers de secours is an all family affair in which Philippe Garrel and his then wife Brigitte Sy play out a drama based on her devastation at being passed over for a role in another of his films. This leads to all sorts of family arguments and discussions about what their relationship means to each of them. The autobiographical quality is so fascinating, both meta-cinema and autoportrait work: there’s the complete family, the film’s director being played by Garrel himself, his wife Jeanne played by his wife of the time (Brigitte Sy), his son by his son (Louis Garrel), his father by his father (Maurice Garrel). It’s a film about the betrayal, of feelings and cinema. The fine texture of Garrel’s personal, introspective, melancholic, poetic cinema lies not only in his obsessive circling round the (for him) eternal question of nature of love and the couple, with his own personal history (past relationships, past heroin addiction) thrown into the mix, but in the look and feel of the cinematic image itself. This film (1989) inaugurated a new period: ith the benefit of hindsight, Garrel described the complex rapport between his private life and his films - in J'entends plus la guitare, which won the Gold Lion at Venice in 1991, La Naissance de l'amour (1993), and Coeur fantôme (1992).
