After her shift, she waits for her girlfriend at a lesbian nightclub full of eccentric characters, before sharing a slow drive home with a stranger. Produced by Paul Vecchiali's Diagonale (Rosa la rose, fille publique), Marie-Claude Treilhou's mercurial triptych is rich in style, funny detail, and heady atmosphere. Queer for the marginal stories it tells and for its offbeat, aesthetic blend of irony and sincerity, Simone Barbès or Virtue is a gem of the post-post-New Wave, capturing both the thrilling possibilities and compelling absurdities of nighttime Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4K scan and restoration by Cosmodigital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUncompressed mono PCM audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLourdes l’hiver - short film by Marie-Claude Treilhou (1981, 9 mins)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew visual essay by film critic Lillian Crawford (2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchival French TV interview with star Ingrid Bourgoin (1980)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew interview with film scholar Dr. Elena Gorfinkel (2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewly improved English subtitle translation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited edition booklet featuring writing by Erika Balsom and archival writing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Blu-ray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: ABC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRAD211BDLE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUPC: 760137224808\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radiance Films","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41176508170289,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/9878\/2001\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_444bab0e-6042-44cc-974a-96f630561894.jpg?v=1786691049","url":"https:\/\/openframemedia.co\/products\/simone-barbes-or-virtue-limited-edition-radiance-films-blu-ray","provider":"Open Frame Media","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
