Curiosidades

Messidor is a 1979 Swiss-French drama film written and directed by Alain Tanner. It stars Clémentine Amouroux and Catherine Rétoré as two young women travelling across Switzerland. The film premiered in 1979 and was entered in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival. It was later screened at festivals including Solothurn and São Paulo.

Background

The film was inspired by travel diaries written by two female hitchhikers during three weeks of wandering in Switzerland. It also grew out of a project initially intended for Maurice Pialat and based on a real French criminal case from the 1970s involving two runaway girls. Tanner took on the project only on the condition that he could rework the original concept around his own concerns, especially the limits of freedom.
