The Mother and the Whore Movie Review 1973

Alexander (Leaud) lives with slightly older Marie (Lafont) but still can't resist picking up sexy Veronika (Lebrun). Their menage works for a while but then tensions between the sexual threesome force them to discuss their situation. Talky, witty, provocative example of French New Wave, which Eustache shot in his own apartment and local bistros. French with subtitles.
