Les Idoles - Theme Song (opening titles) abd

clip from the opening titles of Les Idoles.

Another clip from "Les Idoles," made in 1968, about the rise, malaise and fall of three French pop and rock 'n' roll -- otherwise known as "yé-yé" -- stars, (The Idols), and the madness they are propelled towards by themselves and those with a vested interest in their pop success.

Originally performed as a play in 1966 by the same cast members here, who all then went on to greater prominent roles in films by Buñuel, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Godard, Rivette (Ogier frequently), Chabrol, Fassbinder, Téchine, schroeter, Assayas, Lelouch, Garrel, Duras, Makavejev, Rocha, Costa-Gavras, Jancsó, Ruiz, de Oliveira, and Alain Tanner.

See Clementi in Brtolucc's "Partner"

[giacblanc]

Spyro: you can see him for ninety minutes playing a double part in "Partner" by Bertolucci

based on the "Double" by Dostoyevski. Of course was great in Belle de Jour. That is virtually his entire career. Was arrested in Italy and held 18 months never convicted released after hunger strike. He must have been really thin! Probably a political arrest. Never worked in Italy again I believe

I am just in love with Pierre Clémenti, so cute !
