Jean Eustache, a trained electrician and self-taught filmmaker, was, as the child of working-class parents, an exceptional figure within the otherwise bourgeois Nouvelle Vague.

In addition to numerous short and medium-length films, The Mother and the Whore and My Little Loves are Eustache’s major works.
