Product Description

When the easygoing would-be novelist Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) meets the tempestuous Betty (Béatrice Dalle in a magnetic breakout performance) in a sunbaked French beach town, it’s the beginning of a whirlwind love affair that sees the pair turn their backs on conventional society in favor of the hedonistic pursuit of freedom, adventure, and carnal pleasure. But as the increasingly erratic Betty’s grip on reality begins to falter, Zorg finds himself willing to do things he never expected to protect both her fragile sanity and their tenuous existence. Adapted from the hit novel 37°2 le matin by Philippe Djian, Jean-Jacques Beineix’s art-house smash—presented here in its extended director’s cut—is a sexy, crazy, careening joyride of a romance that burns with the passion and beyond-all-reason fervor of all-consuming love. DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • High-definition digital restoration, approved by director Jean-Jacques Beineix • Blue Notes and Bungalows, a sixty-minute documentary from 2013 featuring Beineix, actors Jean-Hugues Anglade and Béatrice Dalle, associate producer Claudie Ossard, cinematographer Jean-François Robin, and composer Gabriel Yared • Making of “Betty Blue,” a short video featuring Beineix and author Philippe Djian • Le chien de Monsieur Michel, a short film by Beineix from 1977 • French television interview from 1986 with Beineix and Dalle • Dalle screen test • Trailers • New English subtitle translation • PLUS: An essay by critic Chelsea Phillips-Carr

This is that "something different" you're looking for.

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

I had never seen this movie, but I was aware of it's reputation as a somewhat explicit French import.

Well, I watched the new Criterion Blu-ray this weekend and it was amazing. Part romance, part comedy and somewhat dark concerning the issue of mental illness.

I was drawn in immediately and quickly became adjusted to the casual attitude towards nudity, sex and language. In other words, it was realistic with believable characters, story lines and dialogue. It never felt long with a running time just over 3 hours. I can't imagine what material was trimmed for the original theatrical version. Every scene and story arc contributed to the surprising conclusion. The story goes in directions one might not expect.

The Blu-ray transfer, approved by the director, is gorgeous with a striking color palette. The beach scenes are beautiful with deep blue skies and warm sunsets.

The mono sound is crisp which renders the music score, /by two composers, cleanly as it is practically a character unto itself. Despite being subtitled, the sound is essential in conveying the warmth and emotion of the story.

An informative interview with the director and principal actors is a nice bonus. Criterion offers their usual high quality effort for this release.

I found this film to be that "something different" we're often searching for as we scour through titles on video.

A great example of erotic French cinema that also tells an interesting story

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022

I was immensely satisfied with this film. The story was interesting and continued to develop, the characters were endearing and intriguing. The setting and cinematography was also very well presented. I don't want to delve too much into the plot as its best to go in with no expectations. From a technical standpoint the video/audio on the blu ray are great, and the supplemental features have some great documentaries as well.

Crazy film, but the extras are wonderful

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021

The pro video sites are best read for a proper understanding of what you get. All I can say is that despite it being from an older transfer it looks really good and sounds perfectly fine. The film is hard to take and borders on insane. What really makes this set worth the purchase is the documentary. It's wonderful to have actors speaking so frankly about a project and their work on it.

It's about love

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

It is difficult to watch this movie without becoming invested in Betty, a free spirit of a young woman who slowly descends into madness. And Betty and Zoog show such love for each other, but Zoog cannot predict nor handle her mental illness.

I already know the criticisms some will have. Gosh, the movie is about three hours long, it is French, and one needs subtitles. Well, get over it.

I had an earlier version of the Director’s cut, but when it came out through the Criterion Collection, I wanted it. The print is pristine. There is an additional 1 hour feature with the director discussing how the film came together, a shorter televison interview about the time the film came out, and a funny short film by the director from 1977. There is also a small booklet that sets the film in context with the times it was made.

Zoog is a caretaker of beach houses in Southern France, and along comes this free spirit, Betty, and it is love. But she cannot be repressed, and has a definite mind of her own, so they move from there to Paris, and then to another town where he sells pianos. At each place, Betty’s mood swings and episodes of violence and his coping really draw a person into the story. A person really wants to root for Betty. This is a film for mature audiences. While there is no rating on the package, it would clearly be rated R.

I would probably give this 4 ½ stars.
