Review of Mylène Farmer: Pourvu qu'elles soient douces (Libertine II)

"Pourvu qu'elles soient douces" or "Libertine 2" is an 18-minute short film from France that was released back in 1989, so it's already over 25 years old. And as the title already suggests, it is the sequel to Canadian singer Mylène Farmer's "Libertine" from a couple years earlier. About that previous video I thought it was a great song and weak video and about this sequel here, it is forgettable in both regards. Farmer's films have a tendency to look like period pieces and this one here is a perfect example of this. But it seems very shallow from the period piece perspective and the music is also not worth listening to unfortunately. I am quite a fan of some other Farmer works, but here I find it mostly disappointing. This criticism of course not only refers to her, but also to the people who directed and wrote this one. I don't think it should have been made or made entirely different. If you still want to see it, don't be fooled by the French title as this is one rare occasions where Farmer's work is in English.
