The Cigarette
LA CIGARETTE, Dulac's first published work, is about a liberated young woman and her older husband, who suspects she is having an affair, and speaks to a genuine postwar masculinity crisis in France. Dulac fuses realistic tendencies with impressionistic visual association through cinematic-specific techniques, editing, and more, creating tension between modernity/antiquity, life/death, and masculinity/femininity.
