Vendredi Soir

France Claire Denis Vincent Lindon

Interesting experimental film. Through a simple contrivance a man and a woman get together one night, have dinner, go to a hotel, spend the night and split in the morning.

Done with very tight close-ups...thus personalizing the story. They are in a context but it's far in the background. Unusual cutting/editing gave the film a happenstance sensibility. Strong performances by both leads. Stark, spare in tone. Intimate.

This was a successful notch in her ouevre.
