Alix's Pictures
Dir.: Jean Eustache | France 1981 | 19 minutes | French | English subtitles

Alix Cléo Roubaud, a photographer, describes her images to Eustache’s son Boris. Gradually and almost imperceptibly, her monologue deviates from what is happening in the photos and sails into the realms of imagination. This is an experimental film with a comedic dimension, which once again examines the relationship between reality and representation, between truth and fiction.

The Virgin of Pessac
Dir.: Jean Eustache | France 1979 | 65 minutes | French | English subtitles

In Eustache's childhood village, a young lady is chosen for her virtue by the townspeople and is rewarded with a crown of roses. Eustache documents this ceremony twice, offering another portrait of rural, archaic, and largely patriarchal France, looking at the rituals and characters that his camera captures with empathy and a sense of shared fate.
