Two female protagonists with overly exaggerated names to display the cynicism and to mock the idea of free love that was still significantly present, but not as widely spread in the time of release of this movie as it was just a few years back.
Story is relatively presented through the lengthy chunks of dialogue, with loads of notable close-ups to draw the attention of viewers, showing the apathy, irritation and contempt, but also harmony and gratification occurring within the love triangle formed of the three main protagonists.
La maman et la putain, one of the last examples of utterly momentous new wave, also represents a last farewell to this influential movement, leaving the distinctive french cinema in the hands of a new generation with all its beliefs and attitudes.
