About This Movie

So, 'je t'aime' from '86 is a curious piece. It’s not your typical film experience. The blend of human dissection footage with that rough electronic noise really sets a tone that’s unsettling yet strangely hypnotic. It’s like you’re drawn in by the eerie juxtaposition of the visceral and the romantic, especially with the haunting vocals of Psychic TV covering Gainsbourg’s classic. The pacing is unconventional, almost erratic, which adds to its experimental nature. You can’t help but appreciate the layers of meaning, exploring love through a drastically different lens. It’s distinctive, for sure, and has an atmosphere that lingers long after viewing.

Finding 'je t'aime' on any format can be a bit tricky, as its distribution has been limited over the years. There’s a certain niche collector interest surrounding this title, particularly among those who appreciate avant-garde cinema or Psychic TV's work. The scarcity of physical copies, especially in good condition, makes it something of a curiosity for those looking to delve into experimental film history.
