Muriel (1963) starring Delphine Seyrig, Jean-Pierre Kerien. Odd French film with a strange, avant-garde soundtrack which I found discordant and intrusive. A woman and an old lover are reunited, while her stepson struggles with his memories of the occupation of Algeria. The old lover arrives with his "niece." The stepson shoots movie film. I found this movie very confusing. Maybe something was lost in the translation from French to English. I couldn't make sense of it. It strikes me as surreal -- perhaps intentionally so. I really can't recommend it. Grade: C-
