BRIGITTE AND BRIGITTE
Price: $395.00 Code: 2717 |
Directed by Luc Moullet
1966. 75 minutes
Moullet's brilliant, sarcastic first feature stands as the finest period document of French cinephilia, and features cameos by Samuel Fuller, Claude Chabrol, Andre Techine and Eric Rohmer. Two identically-named young students meet just after moving to Paris. Over the course of the film they discover the city, rate its monuments, look for an apartment, eat at a restaurant, visit the country, and become involved in a wide variety of moviegoing-related shenanigans.
