Les jocondes

About This Movie

Les jocondes is a quirky comedy that dives deep into the underbelly of Paris through the eyes of young Pascale. You feel her naivety as she navigates the labyrinthine metro, encountering a colorful cast of characters that embody the city's eccentric charm. The pacing is delightfully uneven, mirroring the unpredictable nature of city life. The film plays with themes of innocence versus experience, with a healthy dose of absurdity thrown in. What stands out is its practical effects and the way it captures the raw atmosphere of 1980s Paris. The performances are full of subtlety, and it’s interesting how they blend humor with a hint of melancholy. Definitely a unique piece that offers a fresh perspective on the classic coming-of-age narrative.
