Bye Bye Blondie

Directed by Virginie Despentes from her own novel, Bye Bye Blondie (2012) is a French drama to watch online on iFILM. Gloria and Francis found each other at sixteen — the 1980s punk scene, the reckless kind of love that tends to leave marks.

Twenty years later, Francis — now a polished TV presenter — comes back looking for Gloria. Emmanuelle Béart and Béatrice Dalle play women measuring the distance between who they were and who they became. Small, unsentimental cinema; Despentes keeps the nostalgia in check.
