(1953) Sister Therese (legendary chanteuse and post-war existentialist icon Juliette Greco) has to quit the convent to run the family stationary store in Cannes (stunningly shot on location) and support her kid sister Yvonne Sanson - who's involved with lowest of low-lifes Philip Lemaire. And then rape, attempted suicide, blackmail, a faked car accident, a highly misplaced love and an ambiguous conclusion ensue. Melville's rarest film - his first box office success - was originally dismissed by autuerist critics (and even the director himself) as a sell-out to commercialism, but now seen as an important missing link in Melville's universe. Never before released in the U.S. or translated - this restoration features new subtitles by Bruce Goldstein. DCP restoration. Approx. 104 min.
