Marcel Hanoun - Une simple histoire

DVD Une simple histoire by Marcel Hanoun, 1958, 64', black & white, 32-page booklet with texts by Noël Burch, Raphaël Bassan, Jean-Luc Godard.

"Une simple histoire comes across as a document, as a clinical statement on reality. And I insist on the word "clinical". Marcel Hanoun presents a film where the suspense does not come from the social aspect of the heroine's musadventures, but rather from their pathological aspect. Marcel Hanoun's originality is to have been able to not only describe a dramatic situation, but also to elaborate a woman's character. That's why I like this film."
