She entrances Depardieu, who begins to forget his sister, just as it begins to appear that Kinski may know something about her fate.Well, maybe she does, and maybe she doesn't. Then one night a dream turns up: Nastassia Kinski, as the sister of the rich drunk. Another is the local tart ( Victoria Abril), who loves Depardieu but cannot penetrate his enthusiastic gloom. One of them is a rich alcoholic who chooses to drink down at the docks because people will leave him alone. Depardieu stars as a man who returns time and again to the scene of his sister's rape and murder, ostensibly seeking her killer, although what he most often finds is a hangover. The story in the movie is lifted from a novel by David Goodis, the pulp writer who also supplied the story for Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player." It's a romantic crime melodrama, so much in love with its sleazy waterfront dives that you'd think the characters prefer to live in squalor. In "The Moon in the Gutter," the characters are essentially just part of the visual compositions, and not even such charismatic actors as Gerard Depardieu and Nastassia Kinski can break out of the Beineix's mannered photography. Item will only be sent insured/recorded delivery if you ask for it.In "Diva," the stylistic pyrotechnics were held together by a series of intriguing characters (the Zen-master with the cigar, the diva, the mysterious Vietnamese girl), and by a central character - a goofy delivery boy obsessed with music - we felt a real affection for.
