      Hard to Fathom
      Other reviewers are much more skilled than I. I am so impressed with their knowledge of film history. I chanced upon this film, which I put on a futures list several years ago. I was only able to find it in French so the few dialogue boxes were of little use to me (although I pieced a few words together). Here we have a psychological study of a young man who moves from woman to woman. He falls then bolts. There are some interesting cuts and some cinematic tricks here. There is little if any story, but it does captivate one eventually. The man is damaged and self destructive. Someone mentioned Resnais. I agree.
