Une chambre en ville
A striking worker whose relationship with his pregnant girlfriend is foundering, falls in love with a callgirl.

The dialogue in this film, delivered entirely in song, matches the often unsettling visuals and haunting score by Michel Colombier.

David Thomson praised the film's "fascinating application of the operatic technique to an unusually dark story".

Demy's film received 9 César nominations and won the Prix Méliès. With Michel Piccoli.
