A visit (original title: Une visite ) is a short film by the director François Truffaut from 1954. The film was long considered lost . According to Hans Helmut Prinzler , Truffaut found the lost copy in 1982.
action
A young man searches for a room through a newspaper advertisement. First he makes a phone call, then drives to an apartment where a young girl opens it for him. He moves in as a subtenant. The young girl receives a visit from her brother-in-law and his little daughter. The brother-in-law asks her to take care of the child over the weekend. The two men, the brother-in-law and the lodger, begin to flirt with the young girl, but the girl does not respond to the advances of the two. The new sub-tenant packs his things up again and leaves the apartment with his brother-in-law. In the evening the young girl puts the child to bed and closes the curtains.
criticism
The film had practically no public presentations, so there were no critical reactions. In a later interview, Truffaut hardly remembers his motives for making the film.
