让-皮埃尔·梅尔维尔曾执导《独行杀手》《红圈》等着名影片。他并非科班出身，因为喜欢电影自组独立制片公司开始从事创作。但当时他忽视法国电影界传统的制片方式，很受到各方面的注意，特别是受到诗人让考克多的赏识。因此考克多提供一千七百万法郎的制片费，请他导演他的小说《可怕的孩子们》，结果很成功，而被誉为战后法国电影界最有才华的新人，被视为法国新潮电影间接的先驱者。

The story of a gentle-hearted beast in love with a simple and beautiful girl.

She is unable to return the key on time, but it is revealed that the Beast is the genuinely handsome one. A simple tale of tragic love that turns into a surreal vision of death, desire, and beauty.

Cinephile slackers Franz and Arthur spend their days mimicking the antiheroes of Hollywood noirs and Westerns while pursuing the lovely Odile. The misfit trio upends convention at every turn, be it through choreographed dances in cafés or frolicsome romps through the Louvre. Eventually, their romantic view of outlaws pushes them to plan their own heist, but their inexperience may send them out in a blaze of glory -- which could be just what they want.

Juliette Hardy is sexual dynamite, and has the men of a French coastal town panting. But Antoine, the only man who affects her likewise, wouldn't dream of settling down with a woman his friends consider the town tramp.
