Film Synopsis
Alice and Barbara are neighbours who, at first sight, could not be more
different. Whilst the former has impeccable morals, the latter
does only what gives her pleasure. But are they really so
dissimilar? One day, when she misses her train, Alice
persuades Barbara to take her place at the job centre. On this
particular day, a journalist named Frédéric intends to
film a documentary at the job centre on the plight of the
unemployed. Barbara unwittingly becomes the star of this
documentary and has no choice but to assume the role of Alice...
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
