Nick, I downloaded Betty Blue directors cut from UTorrent.com and I feel this version contains many changes and additions which gives the film more clarity. arlie20.

I bought a copy of it from Amazon.com or somewhere online. It's available. It lasts three hours and includes several scenes that weren't in the original, including a robbery that Zorg undertakes while dressed in drag.

Has anyone seen the director's cut of Betty Blue? I'm trying to get hold of it - I've heard it has a twist removed from the original

Dont interrupt me when Im talking to myself.

That gap is meaningless. She's utterly gorgeous! A Goddess surrounded by a sea of mediocre human beings.

Only just noticed that tooth gap. Don't care anyway, she is divine!

She looks alright except for that damned gap in between her teeth.

Im wondering if there is a bit of Betty Blue in her after all?
I thought the same thing. After reading about all her altercations, I couldn't help think that this woman is the real deal. She really
is
cut from the same cloth as Betty. Which makes her even more desireable.

I must say, her boobs are great!

a huge pity. about a week ago, i was with a friend and an acquaintance of ours when i suggested we see pan's labyrinth.
me: sothat one?
acquaintance: waitthat's in like mexican, right?
me: umspanish?
acq: ughno thanks, too much reading.
me: huh.
hasn't anyone ever told you that smoking was bad for you?
no..no one..THANK YOU.

She was a freewheeling marvel in Betty Blue, yes indeed. But she'll never be well known here in America because nobody speaks French and very few people here like to watch movies that require reading subtitles. We must be rarities. A pity.

night on earth was her first movie i saw too =]
then i saw betty blue, and it was amazing.
like you said, not too many people know her herewhich is sad because she's really talented.

That, Irving-Joey, ranks among the most eloquent, pleasurable, and noble observations I have ever encountered on the internet. A kindred spirit is out there after all.
Much of my creative inspiration comes from Batrice Dalle. One of the best songs I ever wrote I call Batrice Dalle. Her flirtations with disaster and bad decision in real life merely confirm the roles she plays in her movies. Stunning, gloriously innocent woman, cast out of heaven. That image sparks my imagination. In her movies, her photos, and her life, she's a chameleon, fluctuating between good and evil, darkness and light, and I love her for it: I never feel I know which one she's going to be. Her smile always surprises me.
I once thought the name Beatrice to be a quaint, unpopular grandmother's name, despite the figure in the line
Cassandra, Cleopatra, and Beatrice!
from The Fantasticks. But Batrice Dalle. Oh my. From my first glimpse of her in Night On Earth, she seized me. And I did not even get to see her eyes. It was her voice and her lips. The music in her tone, the lush chord changes in her accent. Smitten. Kate Bush is the only other woman to move me that direction.
I don't mean to gush. It's just so easy. I could write all night about Betty Blue. I keep her on my desktop at work to remind me that in this seething world of fretting people, there's someone beautiful and fascinating out there to admire.

Beatrice Dalle is absolutely gorgeous. She was at her prime in Betty Blue: not only did she look heavenly but she also gave an unforgettable performance. Ill always remember Dalle as Betty, a sensual, passionate free spirit with an unstable, tragically self-destructive streak. When I first saw Betty Blue back in 1986 I thought Beatrice was one of the most beautiful actresses Id ever laid eyes on. The strong pale brow, the snub nose, those full pouting lips and dark flashing eyes, that sweetly gap-toothed, underbitten smile. Her body was sensational, with that111c full bust and voluptuous derriere, and she had a free, unselfconscious attitude with nudity that reminded me of another great European beauty, Nastassja Kinski. Having said that, I think she still looks beautiful today at the age of 41. She does look older but shes still effortlessly sexy. Anything Ive read about her troubled personal life drug problems, marrying a French prison inmate, arguing with a news broadcaster on French TV, four arrests for cocaine possession, shoplifting and assault and her preference for working with non-mainstream arthouse directors like Abel Ferrara, Jim Jarmusch, Claire Denis and Michael Haneke makes Beatrice sound like something of a fiery, free-spirited rebel in real life. Im wondering if there is a bit of Betty Blue in her after all?

Beatrice Dalle is by far my favorite actress. I stumbled into her performance as the blind woman in Night On Earth while surfing through channels one night about three years ago and found myself scrambling madly to learn the name of this mysterious actress. There is no one else in film quite like her. She steals every scene in her movies with her sultry, musical voice and passionate energy. Of course, here in the States, no one's ever even heard of her. But this is one guy from California who adores Beatrice! She is utterly fabulous!

Thanks Jack! Indeed she's looking weathered but I still would!
That first one has me hypnotized.

Finally! Thanks for the response Jack at last someone with taste. Yeah Beatrice has shot herself in the foot with her vices, but I'm a fan anyway. I'd still like to see her with directors listed above, somehow.
I still have to see her in "Trouble Every Day," which also contains Vincent Gallo, and that's really creepy. As I said she kicked ass in "The Blackout." I need to see what recent screenshots of her look like
stay cool!
