The couple follows the historian’s trail from Lisbon to Porto, only to find Arthur’s mysterious new Paris neighbor turning up everywhere they go.
Shot while frequent costars Jeanne Balibar and Mathieu Amalric were a real-life couple, this atmospheric jaunt features one of their most memorable pairings, characterized by an eccentric tenderness and a melancholic undercurrent of existential solitude. A perfect introduction to the neglected oeuvre of Jean-Claude Biette.
