Brigitte and Brigitte
Brigitte et Brigitte, France, 1966
New digital restoration!
In keeping with les enfants terribles of the French New Wave, Luc Moullet’s debut feature centers post-war French youth culture as exemplified by a pair of university-bound young women named Brigitte whose sense of individuality is shaken after they meet and compare demographic notes. Embracing their generational similarities, they set out together to tackle the challenges of urban life from housing to study to activism to boys. Though not as stylistically innovative as other New Wave works, Brigitte and Brigitte exudes a sense of freedom with a number cinematic rebels making cameos including Samuel Fuller, Claude Chabrol, Éric Rohmer and André Téchiné.
DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 75 min. Director: Luc Moullet. Screenwriter: Luc Moullet. With: Françoise Vatel, Colette Descombes, Claude Melki.
Anatomy of a Relationship
Anatomie d'un rapport, France, 1976
New digital restoration!
Luc Moullet shares directing credit with his wife and frequent collaborator, Antonietta Pizzorno, on this earnest exploration of the breakdown of a relationship that doubles as a knowing takedown of the solipsistic men who make them. Intimate in form and content, the entire piece unfolds in tight interior spaces roiled by social and cultural forces outside. There’s no shortage of cringe moments as He (Moullet) struggles to maintain his dignity and She (Christine Hébert) lays bare her dissatisfaction and desire for change with their back and forth culminating in a meta struggle for control of the camera itself.
DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 82 min. Directors: Luc Moullet, Antonietta Pizzorno. Screenwriters: Luc Moullet, Antonietta Pizzorno. With: Luc Moullet, Christine Hébert, Antonietta Pizzorno.
