Présentation ou Charlotte et son steak

Présentation ou Charlotte et son steak is a French short drama film written and directed by Éric Rohmer in 1951 and post-synchronised in 1961.

It features Jean-Luc Godard and the voices of Stéphane Audran and Anna Karina.

[1] In a Swiss village in winter, Walter is walking with Charlotte when they meet Clara.

Though Rohmer shot the film in 1951, it was not until 1961 that it was blown up from 16mm stock to 35mm with an added soundtrack, and then released at the Journées internationales du court métrage.

[2] The film is considered a precursor of the Nouvelle Vague, being shot on location in black-and-white with hand-held camera and amateur actors and, in Godard and Rohmer, uniting two major figures of the movement.
