Mado - 1976 - France

Mado - 1976 - 6/10

 
The recession has hit Mado and her young friends particularly hard.
The men are “between jobs,” and Mado earns a living through casual hooking.
She is selective or lucky, as her clients are affluent developers, speculators.
Businessmen, but not as disreputable as their sinister rivals.
Or are they?  Mado is young, but slowly sees through masks.
Film is overlong, and some of the detours (the mud run) are excessive and pointless.
