D'un jour à l'autre

The story

We can barely see the house plunged into semi-darkness, from which Angela emerges. Mid-morning heat, early summer. The house looks big, there's a garden, a car parked in front of the door: it's one of those long American cars. Los Angeles, around West Hollywood. Angela gets in the car, starts the engine, starts. She is wearing a summer dress, she is in her thirties. She drives slowly.; follows the mass of cars traveling at a moderate pace. She takes the avenues that open up in front of her, then perhaps by chance enters a highway, which she leaves a few minutes later. She drives aimlessly. Palm trees, foliage, cars, everything is covered in dust under the sun. "Slow city moving fast"... Film presented at the National Festival of Young French Cinema in Trouville in 1978. - google translation of senscritique's description of the film.
