Duelle (Une Quarantaine) (1976)
Two enigmatic women separately arrive in Paris, both with a hidden but shared motive. As they navigate the city and their search progresses, various characters become entangled in a conflict, which increasingly comes to take a fantastical turn. These characters too, driven by their own desires, strive for their own goals in the struggle. From a Paris, drenched in an otherworldly ambiance, a tale of desire and power emerges through mystery and secrets.
Director: Jacques Rivette
