With a career spanning over five decades, Depardieu's contributions to cult and exploitation films, particularly in the 1970s, reflect a unique blend of artistry and raw emotion that continues to resonate within the genre.
I Love You, I Don't
A young elfin-looking waitress (Jane Birkin) who works at a sleazy diner of the middle of nowhere France falls in love with a garbage man (Joe Dallesandro) who everyone warns her is gay. She pursues the relationship, but things don’t work out too well. He only likes to have sex in a very uncomfortable manner for her, and her pained cries get them thrown out of several motels and apartments. She also has to deal with the jealously of her lover’s male “friend”/co-worker, and with her own domineering, disgusting, and flatulent older boss.
