Institute History
Description
Following his dishonorable discharge from the Army, Antoine continues his search for the perfect woman through a series of frustrating encounters. Doniel, carried by the strength of Leaud’s acting, responds to his world with spontaneity, taking on an odd assortment of jobs with naive confidence—hotel receptionist, private detective, TV repair man and shoe salesman. An incurable romantic and vulnerable dreamer at a distance, he is shy and impish in a woman’s presence, yearning for absolute love in a world of compromises. His Keatonesque wide-eyed expressions make us laugh, but his attempts to love attain the purity of an intimate confession.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
