The first feature film by Erick Zonca follows the friendship between two young women struggling to find their way in contemporary Paris. Supporting each other emotionally and financially, their bond is threatened when one falls in love with a rich and dangerously charming reprobate. With its naturalistic lighting and understated palette, Godard's cinematography creates an engrossing realism punctuated by frequent flashes of vibrant color. Shooting on super 16mm, Godard makes extensive and understated use of the handheld camera; its proximity to the characters establishes a haunting intimacy as they grapple with love and betrayal. – DP
