L'opéra-mouffe
About the movie
A pregnant filmmaker takes us to rue Mouffetard, "la Mouffe," in the Latin Quarter of Paris for a mix of documentary footage and imagined scenes. Vignettes or chapters unfold - on the feeling of nature, on pregnancy, on anxiety, on desire, and so forth. Women shop at a vegetable market, their faces marked by care and poverty.

There are counterpoints of gritty realism and playful, near-surrealistic images. Political and artistic consciousnesses create a montage.—
