The behind-the-scenes story of Leo.

This is Hou Mai's first feature film and his most dramatic film. This is also a "moral story", and its warning is implied between the plot and the fate imagined by the protagonist.

But in this year, Godard's Tired and Truffaut's Four Hundred Strikes were born. Compared with their first novel, Hou Mai's first novel seems a little ill-timed, and suffered a fiasco at the box office and reviews.

Jean-Luc Ge Daer plays a friend who comes to Pierre's party in the film. He seems to be a music lover, but in the film, he couldn't wait to hear a complete song, kept moving the stylus and finally turned off the record player. Interestingly, this image is very consistent with the description of Godard by most directors of New Wave: they are always eager to jump from one place to another.

Almost all the dialogues in Hou Mai's films were written by himself, but the dialogues in this film were written by the screenwriter Paul Gegauff. Compared with other films in The Last Wheat, the dialogue in this film is much more concise and direct. (Maybe "Green Light" can be ruled out, because a large part of its dialogue was written by actress Marie Rivière, but in contrast, it is still very close to Hou Mai's own dialogue style. ) This film has almost the least dialogue among Hou Mai's films.

In the film, the protagonist is forced to find a job. He took the subway from Star Square to Nanterre. The place where he got on the subway once appeared in another short film of Hou Mai. Moreover, this short film, named "Star Square", is the fourth paragraph of the collection "Paris Vupar ..." jointly produced by several directors of "New Wave" (including Jean Rouch, the main director of "Reality", and Chabrol and Godard).
