Lovers Like Us

About This Movie

Lovers Like Us is one of those quirky gems from the mid-'70s that hasn't really found its way into the mainstream conversation. The film captures this eccentric energy with a young Frenchwoman darting around Caracas, desperately escaping her Italian fiancé. The pacing is all over the place, which somehow adds to its charm, as chaotic events unfold with an almost slapstick flair. It's a mix of adventure, comedy, and romance that feels distinctly European in its humor and outlook. The performances, particularly from the lead, are both earnest and ridiculous at times, creating a unique atmosphere that's hard to pin down. It’s not polished, but that’s what gives it character.

Lovers Like Us has had a limited release history, primarily available on VHS with a few DVD copies surfacing over the years. It's not widely regarded, which contributes to its scarcity on the collector's market. Interest seems to be picking up among those who appreciate offbeat foreign films of the era, but it's still relatively niche, making it a curious find for collectors looking for something a bit unconventional.
