Meet the New Wave (same as the old wave)...

The problem with many French films is that the actors maintain a classical style (as though they were performing on stage) as opposed to method actors, like the States had been churning out since a decade before _Le Pont du Nord_ hit the screens.

Written and performed by mother / daughter duo Bulle and Pascale Ogier (who would die in 3 years from a heart murmur compounded with drug use the day before her 26th birthday), _Le Pont du Nord_ is directed by Jacques Rivette, a pillar of French New Wave cinema.

While the views of Paris in 1980 (including my neighborhood and Metro station!) are quaint, the rest of this movie isn't New Waving but drowning.
