Confidences of the Night

Confidences of the Night (French: L'Amour blessé, lit.

"Wounded Love") is a 1975 Canadian drama film written and directed by Jean Pierre Lefebvre.

[1] The film stars Louise Cuerrier as a lonely single woman who is spending her evening at home accompanied only by the voices of other people, such as a radio phone-in show and noise from the neighbours heard through the wall; the film's limited plot unfolds when she calls the radio show to talk about leaving her abusive ex-husband, only to then receive angry phone calls from him and his mother.

[2] Cuerrier herself is the only cast member seen on screen in the film; the offscreen voices are provided by a cast including Gilles Proulx, Paule Baillargeon, Pierre Curzi, Frédérique Collin, Monique Mercure, Jean-Guy Moreau, Denise Morelle, Lise Demers and Guy Thauvette.

Lefebvre is content to hold the image and to let the woman walk in and out of the frame as if her lassitude has affected the whole crew.
