Film

Pure characters, love between the 2, In their world.

Was made in "Etat de grace" (state of grace)

Was destroyed by "la nouvelle vague" (les cahiers du cinema). Explanation by Bourgignon: was in competition with "Jules and Jim" (dark side of the new wave?). More respect for the tool (old school?). "I can consider that my career is mostly made of films i've not made".

Bourgignon mentioned that the subject might not be possible today.

Dialogues parts from the girl herself.

Bourgignon recognized that public and critics have seen more that what he put in it, including very different interpretations.

"Probably it was unreal and i took it for reality"
