Maurice Pialat's film critiques the notion that material success can replace meaningful social and sexual change in modern France. Nelly leaves behind her comfortable life and a stable relationship to pursue a passionless, unemployed man named Loulou, who finds purpose solely through his sexual encounters.
Loulou
A chance encounter between a restless homemaker and a charismatic small-time crook sets off a thrilling escapade of excitement, passion, and a difficult decision between the comfort of routine and the allure of the unpredictable.
