basically jacques rivette flexing his filmmaking muscles before the whole french New Wave thing really kicked off. Its a short film just 28 minutes but its packed with all the sneaky ironic nd slightly smug energy you’d expect from a bunch of young cinephiles trying to outwit each other

The first official French new wave film with this Jacques Rivette would start the greatest movement in film history. A calm before a hurricane of creativity.
