Valparaiso, Valparaiso (1973): cast, story & where to watch
1973 · Film · ★ 4.6
Released in 1973, Valparaiso, Valparaiso is a comedy film directed by Pascal Aubier, running about 90 minutes.
What it’s about. Alain Cluny is Balthazar, a bumbling middle-aged intellectual who spouts off from time to time about leftist causes, usually to his current girlfriend. Then Edwarda (Bernadette Lafont), who is active in the political underground, comes into his life. From that point on, he begins to act on his beliefs. Edwarda's underground political action group stages a little drama to test Balthazar's commitment and reliability, putting him through an interrogation by what appear to him to be French secret police. Having passed this test, he is given a real assignment. This film is a comedy with elements of satire, and it explores the humor to be found in left-wing pretentiousness of all kinds. - Rovi
