Artificial Eye have announced the UK Blu-ray debut and DVD (re-) release of two films by opinion-dividing French filmmaker Leos Carax, his 1984 debut feature Boy Meets Girl and his 1986 follow-up The Night is Young [Mauvais sang], both of which star young and up-and-coming actor Dennis Levant.
Leos Carax's feature debut Boy Meets Girl follows the relationship of an aspiring filmmaker (Denis Lavant) who has just been left by his lover and a suicidal young woman (Mireille Perrier) who is also reeling from a failed romance. Using bold, mesmeric black-and-white imagery to captivating effect, Boy Meets Girl is a blend of black humour and gentle romance that heralded Carax's luminous career.

In The Night is Young petty thief and street hustler Alex (Denis Lavant) plots to steal a new miracle cure for an AIDS-like virus on behalf of his gangster friend Marc (Michel Piccoli). But this attracts the notice of a mysterious American woman who also wants the serum. One of the most notable films of the 80s, this dazzlingly inventive mix of off-beat romance and sci-fi thriller cemented Carax's reputation as one of the most exciting directors in the world.
