Baby Blue

About This Movie

Baby Blue is a curious piece from 1977 that delves into the complexities of sexuality and interpersonal relationships. With Marie-Ange, played by Danièle Troeger, as a somewhat naive student, the film unfolds in a rather intimate setting. The narrative unfolds slowly, drawing you into the lives of her hosts, Jean-Louis and his wife. The atmosphere is thick with tension and unspoken desires, almost voyeuristic in its exploration. The pacing can feel languid, but it serves the film well, allowing for moments of reflection on the characters' motivations. There’s an intriguing blend of drama and subtle dark humor that emerges as Marie-Ange takes control of her narrative in a way that feels both unsettling and empowering. It's a unique entry worth considering for its distinct take on a familiar theme.

Baby Blue has seen limited releases over the years and remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, which adds to its allure. The film’s unique perspective on sexuality in the late '70s, combined with its intriguing narrative structure, makes it a notable piece for those interested in the evolution of erotic cinema. Various formats have surfaced, but original prints are increasingly rare, heightening its value for dedicated collectors.
