LOULOU (1980)

MAURICE PIALAT

Plot

France's greatest screen actor is a no-good petty thief who meets a middle class yuppie at a disco. He excites her so much that she abandons her steady relationship with her boss and moves in with him. A portrait of France in the 70s, blue collar, big-bellied and chauvinist; well acted with the seedier side of Paris brilliantly evoked.
