The Virgin of Pessac
Dir.: Jean Eustache | 65 minutes

The Virgin of Pessac

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.
