What La Maman Et La Putain is
Jean Eustache checks in with the Parisian ennui of the early 1970s. Alexandre floats between his stable girlfriend Marie and Veronika, a nurse with a self-destructive streak. The women's tolerance for Alexandre's dithering eventually expires. It's a long three and a half hours, but that's what Eustache was going for.
