Mauvais Sang (French pronunciation: [movɛ sɑ̃], Bad Blood), also known as The Night Is Young, is Leos Carax's second film. Released in 1986, the film played at the 37th Berlin International Film Festival[1] before being nominated for three César Awards and winning the Prix Louis-Delluc. The film sold 504,803 tickets in France.[2] The title refers to Arthur Rimbaud's poem in A Season in Hell.[3]
In the film, a sexually transmitted disease called STBO is sweeping the country; it spreads by sex without emotional involvement, and most of its victims are young people who have sex out of curiosity rather than commitment. A woman hires two men to steal the serum, which has been locked away in a pharmaceutical company's offices.
