Loulou, a petty crook and full-time slacker, forms a tentative relationship with Nelly, a determined, if emotionally fragile, advertising worker. They care a great deal for each other, but they argue with uncomfortable regularity. Their union is affected, furthermore, by the tumult that rules their lives: Loulou steps up his criminal activity by enticing Nelly into joining him in a warehouse robbery; and she still carries on an affair with her boss. When Nelly becomes pregnant, both she and Loulou realize that their love must blossom... or wither. [More]

This examination of class, love and sexual politics is full of nuanced observations of character, even as its narrative staggers and reels like a drunk negotiating a dark road.

Loulou is a dance macabre of three individuals trying to decide whether or not they want to change their lives.
