French Film MY GOLDEN DAYS is Scintillating

The French film MY GOLDEN DAYS is tres sexy & crazy.  I liked everything about this steamy young lovers movie with its 2 very appealing leads but it foregoes logical story framing.  Mathieu Amairic (best known to Amer as a Bond villain) plays Paul.  Paul is apprehended at airport security in Russia and taken into interrogation.  Extensively establishing the flashbacks to his horrific childhood with an insane, dangerous & suicidal mother.  No sooner do we see him flee to the safety of his beloved, lesbian great aunt's apartment, We see him as a teen on a furtive mission in Russia with his best friend.  Next, we find him returning from Paris where he's studying anthropology to be with his sister, brother & depressed, mostly absent father.  Although this allows for endlessly partying & mayhem in their family home.  Paul spots the beautiful Claire and becomes infatuated & invites her to their party.  Once he wins her affection he's not sure she's stable, faithful or what he bargained for.  The sexual chemistry between Paul & Claire is magnifique and manic.  She can't bear for him to leave or bear to be alone.  They maintain a lengthy, torrid long distance romance albeit with infidelities (afterall this is France.)  The film is not a typical Amer young love film.  It is much more exotic, complex & confusing.  The closest comparison would be to Woody Allen's early movies where he obsesses over love & death.  MY GOLDEN DAYS has none of Allen's humor but it makes Allen's angst seem like child's play.
