Comment réussir… quand on est con et pleurnichard (1974)

This one’s got a lot going on visually. A mature guy with bruises on his face is seen lying in a hospital bed — looks like he’s been through it. Another scene has a young couple talking outside in an urban alley. The guy’s in a beanie and uniform, the girl’s got long red hair and a coat. Later, the same redhead is in a forest, wearing a cloak and sitting with a guy in medieval clothing. It’s all moody and atmospheric, with dim lighting and a mix of settings. There’s also a shot of the redhead reaching out dramatically in a dark room with colored lighting. The whole thing feels artsy but also kind of intense. The final shot is the mature guy standing in a doorway, back to the camera, in a suit. It’s not your typical scene — more like a mood piece with a story.
