Despite debunking some of the romantic myths surrounding this fascinating time, Philippe Garrel's ambitious May '68 epic is more interested in mood than drama and, thus, devotes too much time to posturing introspection.
Top CriticIt's a lethargic, meandering picture that takes a largely uncritical view of its narcissistic characters.
A melancholy meditation upon both the events of May 1968 in Paris and a doomed love affair.
Top CriticIt’s clearly an intensely personal project for the director, who was 20 himself in ’68 (and shooting the riot police in 35mm) and has also cast his father Maurice and the music of his partner Nico.

This tender portrait of late-1960s French youth stars Louis Garrel as François, a 20-year-old Parisian struggling through the fires of revolutionary promise and its smoldering remains.
Top CriticNot much happens, but the director keeps our attention nevertheless.
Regular Lovers isn't a folly-of-youth story that aches with emotion, like Au Revoir, Les Enfants or The Squid And The Whale. It's drier, and simpler. You are there. Iris out.
Garrel is not just an artless aesthete, he is unexpectedly and intensely romantic -- imagining and realizing a character who can die for love.
Just shy of three hours, this is of the admirable, artistic type that one should certainly see, but preferably at home, where the fast forward button is just within reach.
[An] impressive flashback to the May '68 Paris revolts... recreated here in long takes with hauntingly vibrant precision.
A slow-moving and austere look back at the activities of some young participants in the events of May, 1968 in Paris.
