The Mother and the Whore
I mean—French people talking and fucking and self loathing does not get better than this. I love that in 70s Paris, <PERSON> is considered a girl with a big ass — like it’s almost the talk of the town? Yet she carries herself perpetually hunched and shawled up, eyes smoky but unable to conceal a profound sadness. <PERSON> is one of my favorites — sharp, sarcastic, almost too gorgeous to be believably cast aside here. JPL is, well, peak JPL — containing all the angst and anxieties and smarminess of FNW protagonists.
