Plot
Four shop assistants in Paris.
Sinekatalog’s take
Claude Chabrol's cool, bleak film follows four Paris shop girls whose small hopes lead to dark ends. Bernadette Lafont and Stéphane Audran shine in a bitter, ironic portrait that was a flop and is now admired.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
