I have read some reviews and it seems like a lot of people got more of this than I did; it felt fun but Very Arthouse and occasionally fake deep to me. I have not seen enough early Godard to get all of the references to him. It is gorgeous looking though -especially with the restoration! the film transfer is so warm and inviting - and I love crime, the 1970s, and queer people, so it’s hard for me to be completely skeptical of this. It is a very fun, nihilistic summer road trip movie with some musings on identity by a genderfluid waif thrown in. She also shoots cops. What more do you need?

i lowkenuinely have no idea how i even came across this film, but i certainly have no regrets after watching.

bye bye love, a japanese indie film from the 1970s about two partners in crime, a gender fluid thief and a careless criminal, on a road trip on their way to explore their sexuality, existentialism and their gender identity.

i really enjoyed this movie, because through their violent acts and their careless crimes, they are able to recognize that their lives are slowly coming to an end, and they rapidly need to enjoy what is rest of it. while riding stolen bikes and cars, geiko and utamuro are able to feel a sense of freedom, escaping their doomed end. they are not only escaping the challenging societal norms of Japan, but also their countless crimes.

i also loved the theme of love in this movie. the spectator can clearly sense their desire for love and the intensity of their feelings for each other. It kind of felt like a forbidden love, in my opinion. after watching, i wondered if it is called bye bye love because, as their crimes intensified, they lost their sense of reality and developed a love that quickly became fragile and dangerous, and that would end when they got caught and faced their punishment.

"the more i get to know you, the less i know about you"

a strange but beautiful hidden gem that blends erotic tension, romantic tragedy, and self-discovery. the visuals are expressive and bold, every look and gesture feel poetic. it’s wild, unpredictable, and ahead of its time in how it explores gender, identity, and love. a bittersweet meditation on how saying “bye bye love” feels both heartbreaking and inevitable, a goodbye to reality but not to the dream of love itself.
