Le camion
(1977)
In this most talky and personal of films, director Marguerite Duras and actor Gerard Depardieu do an on-camera read-through of a movie script. Occasionally, the director comments about the characters or their motivations, and sometimes the actor does. That's all -- there is no action, there are no location shots, no one pretends to be anything else. The script itself tells about an encounter between a blank-slate of a woman hitchhiker, and a communist truck driver. As the reading progresses, Duras comments bitterly about the failed ideals of communism and the glorious revolution that will probably never happen. Le camion featuring Gérard Depardieu and Marguerite Duras is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want to see list for updates. It's a drama and romance movie with an average IMDb audience rating of 6.5 (440 votes).
