This luminous, hypnotic tale of love at the roulette wheel was recently rereleased in a painstakingly restored version by Agnès Varda. Jeanne Moreau stars as Jackie, a compulsive gambler who falls in love with a bank clerk (Mann) on holiday in Nice. At first, the two lovers simply use each other as “good luck charms;” but love faces challenges when luck runs out.
