Middle class student Bob Letellier enters a new world when he meets Alain, a free-thinking rebel who, along with his group of young Parisians, has opted for a life of instant gratification instead of work and commitment. At a party, Bob meets a young woman, Mic, who appears to be just as carefree and cynical as Alain. Mic's only dream is to own a luxury car, and with Bob's help, she manages to find the money to but it. Mic's friend Clo discovers she is pregnant and, not knowing who the father is, she asks Bob to marry her. When they next meet at a party, Bob and Mic deny that they have any feelings for one another - a declaration that soon leads to tragedy...
Marcel Carné is widely regarded as one of the standard bearers of French quality cinema of the 1930s and 1940s, responsible for such masterpieces as Quai des brumes (1938) and Les Enfants du Paradis (1945). How ironic then that, in 1958, towards the end of his film-making career, he should make a film which dared to portray the attitudes and behaviour of the 1950s youth, in a way that effectively captures the mood and sentiment of the time.
Les Tricheurs was a hugely controversial film, not least because of its blatant depiction of adolescent free-love, and was even banned in some regions of France. It also received some intensely unfavourable reviews, most notably from the young hotheads on the Cahiers du cinéma such as François Truffaut who cited this film as a prime example of the decline of French cinema into mediocrity. In spite of all this negative press, the film proved to be an astonishing commercial success, attracting five million cinema-goers, and was awarded the Grand Prix du Cinéma français in 1958.
Whilst Les Tricheurs is not as flawless as Carné's earlier masterpieces, it is nonetheless a significant work, having the power to both shock and move its audience, whilst having great entertainment value. It evokes the mood of its time in a way that few French films of this period did, depicting young people as pleasure-seeking rebels, rejecting the austerity and discipline of the previous generation whilst pursuing a life without cares, responsibilities or love. Similarities with James Dean's films of the 1950s (most notably Rebel without a Cause) are apparent, although Carné's treatment of young people is far more abstract - in his film they merely symbolise a world that has lost its way, more or less victims of post-war prosperity. Although the young people in Les Tricheurs lack the authenticity to be totally credible, the film does make an important, and indeed quite disturbing point, about where the permissive society may be heading.
Much of the pleasure of the film is in the performances from its four lead actors, Jacques Charrier, Pascale Petit, Laurent Terzieff and Andréa Parisy, although only Terzieff is really convincing in his role. Marcel Carné originally considered Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo for the parts of Bob and Alain respectively, before opting for Charrier and Terzieff. As a consolation, Carné offered Belmondo a smaller part in the film - alas too small for the actor to be noticed by the public. Belmondo's breakthrough had to wait until the following year when he starred in Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary A bout de souffle, a film which offers a very different perspective of the youth generation.
它远算不上完美的电影，移民和SARS的背景都用得不算好，但换一个角度，背景只是背景，它是生活中必然面对的变化与挫折，一个家庭如何处理，如何面对，如何和解才是这部电影真正想讲的东西，它不算好，但它太真实了，太像会发生在我们家中的事情，而电影在一个稍微失真的和解中戛然而止。但，结束了吗？不，生活仍会继续，挫折与变化是人生永难回避的境况，怎么办？4星。
她的恐惧会成为我的恐惧 她的软弱会使我软弱
如果我是这位妈妈，我不知道自己还能不能活得下去。年轻和美国梦破碎，健康与容颜凋零，爱情与婚姻岌岌，母女亲情相爱相杀，每一种关系都令人窒息，都是不能承受的重。
女孩选的演员真好，满脸的刻薄寡恩；结尾没有用演讲烂俗收尾也很好。

影片呈现的家庭关系与情感与本人的现实生活有好些相似性 与瀑布相比似乎更加现实更能击中人心
从故事到表演都没有留下太深印象的小品。“同龄人电影”这个属性这一回没有加分。
父母真的不好当啊 片子中女孩的个性也太强了
比如：母亲为什么当年选择了去美国，这原因背后就能体现出她和他丈夫的婚姻关系，片中有一幕男人装作不经意的拿开了妻子的手，这很值得接着去挖他们的夫妻关系，像他们这样的群体不在少数，非常值得探讨
从一个国家到另一个国家，从一种文化到另一种文化，从不理解到逐渐理解，从hate到love。喜欢女孩和马的设定。新冠后遗症，原来电影里是SARS。相比来说，更喜欢林嘉欣演绎的母亲
非典时期，台湾也是深受影响的。也是对当下疫情的一种观照。
長片處女作，細節很棒，也很有千禧年的氛圍，能讓人共情。方郁婷有好幾個很美的鏡頭，比如坐在公車上的側臉和與馬的對視。2021.12.6，光點華山。
PS.中二的小棉袄漏风，当真很麻烦！
质朴细腻的表达，女人的脆弱，少女的叛逆，父亲隐忍的爱，90年代的点滴，碰撞情绪的点滴。
文化、经济和病症的重重包袱之下，各有各的委屈与不适，生活就是这样啊。爱是最简单的也是最有力量的。
琐碎的生活对话和冲突没有表现人物更深层的心理变化，对社会问题探讨也是浅尝辄止，这点不如《瀑布》，少女恋马的情节和《鱼缸》里很像，p.s.林嘉欣还是好好看哎
感觉可以和《瀑布》对照来看。中年人濒临崩溃时于四下无人处的哭泣太真实了。林嘉欣真美啊……最后陈绮贞的歌也很穿越
其实是父母早逝，只身携带双女在美国的女强人，片子却聚焦她无奈病回台湾在家庭里的无助，大女儿只会反问“为啥妈妈这么软弱”。 青春的叛逆姐姐，懂事互补的妹妹，面对死亡阴影夫妻不同的态度，都无比真实且细腻。喜欢结尾，母亲跟父亲的两场哭戏之后，家庭也走向和解，留白空镜头。
比《瀑布》细腻太多了，娓娓道来，一切都很好
不知道看了个啥。。。剧情任何一个冲突点都是隔靴搔痒诶
