Simone works as an usherette at a Paris adult cinema, trading barbs with her coworker as the night's odd regulars drift in and out. After her shift she waits for her girlfriend at a lesbian nightclub full of eccentric characters, then accepts a slow, meandering ride home from a stranger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Paul Vecchiali's Diagonale collective, Marie-Claude Treilhou's three-part portrait of nighttime Paris is sly, funny and heady with atmosphere, balancing irony and sincerity in a way that still feels startlingly modern. Queer in its attention to life on the margins, it is a gem of post-New Wave French cinema, anchored by a magnetic lead performance from Ingrid Bourgoin (\u003cem\u003eKnife + Heart\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited edition of 3,000 copies.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K scan and restoration by Cosmodigital\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncompressed mono PCM audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLourdes l'hiver\u003c\/em\u003e, a short film by Marie-Claude Treilhou (1981, 9 min)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew visual essay by film critic Lillian Crawford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival French TV interview with star Ingrid Bourgoin (1980)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with film scholar Dr. Elena Gorfinkel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly improved English subtitle translation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition booklet featuring writing by Erika Balsom and archival writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve with original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-height Scanavo case with removable OBI strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980, France.
