YEAR: 1988
DIRECTOR: Catherine Breillat
PINBALL MODEL(S): From what I can see of the cabinet art, this looks to be a 'Jacks to Open' model from Gottlieb (1984).
GAME LOCATION: Cafe/Bar
NOTES: Cafes and pinball have been bound up with cinematic representations of youth culture in France since the early stages of the Nouvelle Vague. Given the sexually-charged nature of these places (filmic or otherwise), the nearly ubiquitous presence of pin-tables within them marks the game as an experientially unifying component of the social maturation and sexual awakening that unfolds there.
