This is the second Zulawski's movie i watch, the first one is his famous POSSESSION. "L'important c'est d'aimer" is not as good as POSSESSION but still, it's a good movie worth watching. A movie that most of cinephiles will enjoy. It's flawed, there are some pace problems, it's not cohesive, maybe it's a bit messy and chaotic. But it doesn't matter, because this is True Cinema. This is an artistic creation, intense, raw and honest. Even if you don't like it, it's worth watching it just for the acting, literally every actor here gives a breathtaking performance. There is a dream-like atmosphere, almost surreal at times, viewer empathizes with the characters. A (dark) comedy relief, a drama/romance, the things we do for Art, the things we do for Love. I cannot describe it well, this is more an experience than a well structured movie. It's too flawed to call it a masterpiece but you will remember it for a long time, whereas many "better "movies than this are forgettable.
