At long last presented in a striking new restoration worthy of the film’s reputation, Jean Eustache’s hard-to-see masterpiece uses an obsessive, talkative ménage à trois as the jumping-off point for an intense exploration of sexual politics among liberated yet alienated moderns.

Co-directed with Jean-Michel Barjol, Eustache’s film documents the slaughter of a pig and its subsequent conversion into sausages on a small French farm in the Massif Central.

One of Eustache’s most radical experiments, this transgressive film presents two versions of the same event, in which a group of women listen to a man describe his discovery of a peephole in a women’s restroom.

Beautifully shot in color by Nestor Almendros, My Little Loves is as powerful and unsentimental a portrait of adolescent male angst as anything by Truffaut or Pialat.

Jean Eustache sits down with his grandmother Odette Robert—a key figure in his life and a substitute mother during his youth—for a feature-length conversation across a kitchen table.

Eustache’s first completed film follows two aimless young men who prowl the bars and dance halls of Paris in pursuit of female companionship. Eustache’s second narrative short stars French New Wave icon Jean-Pierre Léaud as Daniel, a young man who finds it easier to meet and talk to women while in costume as a department store Santa Claus.

For his first documentary, Eustache returned to his hometown to document an annual pageant in which the village crowns the town’s most virtuous young girl.

In 1979, Eustache returned to Pessac to “remake” his first documentary, again filming the town’s annual pageant to crown its most virtuous young woman while emphasizing what had (and had not) changed over the subsequent decade.

Featuring Le Jardin des Délices de Jerome Bosch (1979), Alix’s Pictures (1980), and Offre d’emploi (1980).
