Review of The Mother and the Whore (1973) by Richard Roeper for Chicago Sun-Times — 27 Jun 1984
As a record of a kind of everyday Parisian life, the film is superb. We think of the cafes of Paris as hotbeds of fiery philosophical debate, but more often, I imagine, they are just like this: people talking, flirting, posing, drinking, smoking, telling the truth and lying, while waiting to see if real life will ever begin.
