UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE (1959) 65'
Description
"I have not the slightest doubt: Marcel Hanoun is the most important and most interesting French filmmaker since Bresson."
— Jonas Mekas
"Une Simple Histoire presents itself as a document, as a clinical statement about reality. And I insist on the word 'clinical.' Marcel Hanoun offers a film where suspense does not arise from the social aspect of the heroine's misadventures, but rather from their pathological aspect. Marcel Hanoun's originality lies in having managed not only to describe a dramatic situation, but also to develop a female character. That is why I love this film."
— Jean-Luc Godard
