About
En 1956, Jacques Demy fue el asistente de Georges Rouquier para “S.O.S. Noronha”. Así trabó amistad con la estrella de la película Jean Marais y es gracias a éste que conoce a Jean Cocteau. Seducido por el entusiasmo del joven cineasta, el poeta le regala una pieza en un acto, “Le bel indiffèrent”, que le deja libre de adaptar a su guisa. La pieza triunfalmente creada por Edith Piaf y Paul Meurisse en 1940 no es nada más que un largo monólogo de una mujer abandonada por un hombre que le niega la menor respuesta. Por no poder repetir a los mismos actores, Jacques Demy le confía el papel de la mujer a una joven actriz desconocida y amiga, Jeanne Allard y a un desconocido rlocalizado por casualidad en la calle, Angelo Bellini.
