The Bakery Girl of Monceau

1963 · 23 min

A wry, talky stroll through Paris streets, light on its feet but quietly sharp about self-deception and the small cruelties of desire.

Overview
After several days without seeing Sylvie, the object of his desire again, a nameless law student becomes involved with Jacqueline, who works at the local bakery. Eventually, he has to choose when he arranges dates with both on the same day.
