Inspired by an article on high-rise prostitution and shot simultaneously with Made in USA, this is, according to Jean-Luc Godard, “a sociological essay in the form of a novel, written not with words, but with notes of music”. Marina Vlady stars as the housewife hooker who turns tricks to survive in an increasingly consumerist society.

A tad dated, but still daring, dazzling and dynamic.
