Les Bonnes Femmes

Les Bonnes Femmes is a French comedic drama directed by Claude Chabrol. Its mix of melodrama, absurd comedy and tragedy is typical for the early, experimental New wave films. It was one of the earliest and most revered films of the French New Wave, although it was a financial flop on its initial release. There is a considerable amount of scenes set on the streets, and the viewer gets an expansive look at how Paris looked at the time, in night and day.
