BFI Southbank inroduction:
A foreboding unease creeps through Chalonge’s overlooked film, adapted from his own novel by Luis Buñuel collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière. Carrière himself stars as Hugues, a vet who meets Jeanne (Karina) through a dating agency and moves into her large apartment. As the apartment fills with Hugues’ animals and insects, strange goings on and suspicions between the couple increase.
The 35mm print we are presenting is slightly colour faded. We hope it will not spoil your enjoyment.
