Vault Note

From quaint ski chalet to Parisian misadventures—Marianne doesn't pack light.

Programmer's Pick

If you think Marianne is just another naïve ingénue, think again—this French drama strips away both illusions and clothing, as our heroine ditches the ski lodge for the seedy allure of Paris. Francis Leroi directs with a keen eye for both eroticism and the absurdities of sexual politics, making this a curio for fans of Euro sleaze with a side of Marxist banter.
