Our take
One of François Truffaut’s first films, starring Bernadette Lafont, this short is a teaser for the youthful and mischievous style of the director’s subsequent works. A film ready to blow up the traditional cinéma de papa and pave the way for the revolutionary French New Wave to come to existence.
