Le professeur Taranne

Perhaps not Ruiz's most coherent work (nor is it necessarily intended to be), but altogether this has a bunch of the most quintessentially Ruiz-ian cinematic moments that i've ever seen, and aside from possibly The Golden Boat this might be his film that i'd recommend most to curious Hartley or late-period Godard fans (he's never felt closer to either, and in any case this is less than an hour long).
