UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE (1959) 64'
Description
"Une simple histoire presents itself as a document, a clinical observation. And I insist on the word clinical. For what must be praised in Marcel Hanoun is his ability to present us with a film where the suspense doesn't come from the "social" side of his heroine's misadventures, but from its "pathological" side. Marcel Hanoun's originality is to have been able to describe for us not only a dramatic situation, but a character. That's why I rather like this film."
— Jean-Luc Godard
