-Most people are in tears. When Alex was with Liz, when Anna was with Alex, when the American woman came out, the old man in the passenger seat of her car...
they were all in tears. Probably because they have loveless sex.
—except maybe Anna. She said she has been like this since she was a child.
——There is another reason for the conclusion of the previous statement, which is that I think Anna loves her old man. Loved from start to finish. Even if she runs in the open space in the end, that doesn't mean she doesn't love him.
—sorry, but I really think and take comfort in seeing that she never loved Alex from start to finish.


——The most moving part of the whole film, I secretly thought it was the long three-person singing when they drove to the airport. The overall grey tones, the rhythm of the French songs, the wind and the look of the people, it's all very moving when it comes together. The brightest shade of Anna's face, only those two groups of ruddy, soft, warm, excited.

——When filming Bad Blood, the director and the heroine were in love, which is really self-evident. Binoche couldn't have had a more beautiful moment.


- Liz is still a child, and Anna is not yet a woman. She is between a child and a woman.

- If Liz is an angel/devil, Anna is not out of this world. She is some kind of undefined wandering life form at the junction of heaven and earth and mortal world.

Bad Blood quotes

  • Anna: Life is splendid with him. He guides me so well. He requires of me very beautiful things, very rigorous. You know, he is self-taught. Yes, he has done it all. He looked at me with the eyes of an inventor, with the eyes of a researcher, like I was an invaluable discovery, as if I had the solution to something. Something secret and mysterious that is hidden deep inside him. Sometimes I get so close, so near, but more often I am light years away? Curious, isn't it? It's my life, this thing, this thing like an enigma. An enigma that glues us together, both of us accomplices together. Maybe our love will die if it is solved too early or maybe not at all.

  • Alex: I like the radio. You just turn it on, and you get the very tune that was humming inside your head... You'll see. It's magic.
