About Le Pont du Nord (1981)
Freshly out of prison, ex-con Marie (Bulle Ogier, L’Amour fou) wanders the Paris streets in the odd company of self-proclaimed kung-fu master Baptiste (Pascale Ogier, Full Moon in Paris). Between all-too-brief visits from her ex-lover Julien (Pierre Clémenti, Belle de Jour), Marie looks for a place to sleep, or watches her new friend deface the eyes of street posters like so many prying enemies.
In Julien’s briefcase, the unlikely duo finds a mysterious series of clues, which soon sends them on a mind-bending journey in a city of lights laid out like a board game. Paranoid eccentrics in a charming fairy tale, or truth seekers unveiling a dangerous conspiracy, mother and daughter Ogier shine in a classic by Jacques Rivette (Jeanne la Pucelle, Va Savoir), as ominous as it is entertaining.
