Mad Love
A doomed Zulawski-style love triangle, trapped inside an out-of-control gangster vendetta, where everything moves at a lightning-fast pace. In this colorful kaleidoscope of cartoonish exaggeration, both the dialogue and the characters take on symbolic dimensions
"The film is inspired by Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot" and intended as a homage to the great writer." These words mark the ending of "Mad Love", a film where Andrzej Zulawski's creative obsession with the Russian writer's oeuvre culminates in a bombastic, hyperactive film adaptation, taking place in modern-day France instead of 19th Century Russia.
Having just been discharged from a psychiatric asylum, naive Léon encounters criminal Micky and his gang after a successful bank robbery, as they are planning to take revenge from the all-powerful brothers Venin, who hold Micky's girlfriend Mary hostage.
What follows is a doomed Zulawski-style love triangle, trapped inside an out-of-control gangster vendetta, where everything moves at a lightning-fast pace. In this colorful kaleidoscope of cartoonish exaggeration, both the dialogue and the characters take on symbolic dimensions: they're less human and more vessels of volcanic emotions that could erupt on the screen at any given moment.
