Marguerite Duras in La Roquette Prisons
Jean Noël Roy / France / 1967 / Czech Premiere / 12 min.
synopsis
Marguerite Duras interviews the only female prison director in France. First, she lets her explain how she became a prison warden. She then talks about her job, the women prisoners, living conditions, authority, punishment and suicide. The seemingly banal conversation escalates and the reporter's attitude gradually borders on aggression.biography
