We discuss our first impressions of these two late 20th century French auteurs, the cross-class romance and punk ethos of Loulou, and Huppert's venture into broad black comedy in Coup de Torchon, playing a pragmatist whose gradual awakening to the moral dimension of life is occasioned by her lover's descent into moral insanity.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    Intro.
