Drôles de Bobines

Drôles de Bobines is something of a burlesque film shot while Pialat was still working for Olivetti. Pialat plays a role in the midst of his co-workers. "At Olivetti, I only really made novice films, holiday films that the director allowed me to shoot... I thought at the time I was pretty smart when actually I could have been making a better living. But I didn't really care. I didn't take charge of anything, and I wasn't a good salesman". (M. Pialat)
