Synopsis

French filmmaker Loulou seeks work as a film editor on Broadway, yet she soon meets the journalist Sid and they decide to get married. However, boredom quickly sets in. After dreaming about a meatball, she confesses her desire to be with another man to Sid. He, in turn, sets out to find her one.

MUBI's take

A prelude to Hotel New York, Jackie Raynal’s eccentric short moves from surrealist musings on New York hotels, full of strange and neurotic incidents, to a humorous rendering of futile domesticity. The crucial appearance of the now defunct Carnegie Hall Cinema is especially nostalgic and poignant.
