Les Sièges de l'Alcazar poster

Overview

Guy, film critic of the Cahiers du Cinéma and terminal cinephile, plans to write about the Vittorio Cottafavi retrospective at the Alcazar, his local cinema. One day he notices that Jeanne, film critic of Postif, the rival magazine, seems to be following him. He is intrigued-- is she interested in him, or planning to poach his praise for Cottafavi in her own article?
