A woman becomes distressed by the resemblance between the plot of a film and the reality of her own life. But what is reality – life or film?Quote:
A young film critic (Michel Auclair) meets a young woman at a screening of the film Le Rendez-vous de minuit with Lilli Palmer, who is obsessed by her resemblance to the heroine of the film. While the screening continues, and through a nocturnal Paris that is sometimes deserted and sometimes animated, he tries to prevent her from committing a suicide that she believes to be inevitable, as is Lilli Palmer’s in the cinema. A Pirandellian game about reality and filmic fiction. (auto-translated)
