Hippo is a modern bohemian, a Belmondo for the 90s, no job, no ambition, no hopes and no cares. He shares an apartment with his younger brother, a student who supports him by dealing drugs. A constant stream of visitors provides everything Hippo needs -- intellectuals, their conversation; poker players, their money; women, their bodies -- until he meets Nathalie, a beautiful and successful graduate student. It's the beginning of an obsessive and intense passion that consumes them both and sets the screen on fire. Their relationship forces each of them to examine their most basic assumptions about life and love -- and whether they are willing to make the sacrifices their passion needs to survive. Set in Paris, "Love Without Pity" is a hard-edged romance for today about an alienated generation facing tomorrow. Director: Eric Rochant. Color. Country: France. Subtitled.
