Country: FR/IT
Technical: bw/col 90m
Director: Agnès Varda
Cast: Corinne Marchand, Antoine Bourseiller, Dorothée Blanck, Michel Legrand
Synopsis:
A singer awaiting the results of clinical tests for cancer is convinced she is going to die and mopes around Paris one evening, meeting friends and colleagues, until she crosses paths with a soldier on leave in the Bois de Boulogne and begins to be confident enough to face life with optimism again.
Review:
The spirit of the Nouvelle Vague imbues this film, whose superstitious, neurotic heroine almost exasperates, but which grips through its ciné-vérité evocation of Paris on the cusp of summer and an unflinching gaze on its characters.
