THE STANCES TO SOPHIE
by Moshe Mizrahi
(France-Canada, 1971, 1h28)
Starring: Bernadette Lafont, Bulle Ogier, Michel Duchaussoy, Virginie Thévenet
Screenplay: Moshe Mizrahi and Christiane Rochefort, based on her novel 'Les Stances à Sophie' (Grasset - 1963)

Céline, a liberated young woman, meets Philippe Aignan, a wealthy businessman, and unexpectedly falls in love with him and agrees to become his wife, despite having only ever had a string of affairs. The bourgeois lifestyle and social whirl quickly bore her, and she forms a bond with Julia, the wife of one of her husband's acquaintances.
Director Moshé Mizrahi's second film, adapted from Christiane Rochefort's novel, 'Les Stances à Sophie' humorously skewers the bourgeois couple and brings a breath of post-68 feminism with the couple Bernadette Lafont and Bulle Ogier more complicit than ever.

Our guest: Orit Mizrahi, actress and director, daughter of Moshe Mizrahi
