La PUNITION OU LES MAUVAISES RENCONTRES

Jean Rouch
1962 France 58 minutes French

“To start with, what is La Punition? A game. A social game. Suppose that a young 18-year-old Parisian girl suddenly finds herself free for a whole day. (…) She is young, she is beautiful. Her partners are of different ages and backgrounds. The temptation to flirt is always there in the discussion, like a rule of the game, and pushing in this direction seems all the more tempting as it is a dead-end road (…).” (Jacques André, Midi libre, 13 mars 1963)
