Des pieds et des mains

This is a very cute little movie that would play very nicely in a program of other movies, since it never shows us the people involved; it only shows us their hands and feet, as he pursues her and she ignores him.

It's a sly and witty way to tell a simple and, in many ways, a banal story, and one that is nicely calculated to drive the audience pleasantly mad as a medium that can only show you things proceeds to not show you things..... and the audience, certainly, was in on the jest. The time of the unsophisticated nickelodeon audience long gone and the young co-director, Jacques Feyder, was already developing a reputation for biting the hand that fed him. The foot, too.
