Hi, I'm sorry if I'm replying too late. But if you're still here, I'd like to ask you something. I have not seen the film, so I can't answer your question, but I'd like to know where did you get a copy of this film. I mean there is no DVD and I don't think VHS are still available. I want to see this movie, Jean Eustache is one of my favourite directors, so I beg you, please, tell me : where did you find it ? Did you download it on the Internet ? And is the quality of the picture and the sound good ?

Sorry for my english.

Does the fact that he carries very large amounts of cash around with him give any clues over his occupation?

reply

I don't think they say what he does. He just says that working at a bike shop is ok, but it's small pennies compared to what he does.

That's the guy that said he was going to change into his "motorcycle" clothes. He sells gasoline. I took it to be that there was a gas shortage and so he was in the "black market" for gasoline, or something along those lines.
