The Cigarette
Dulac's first known title, LA CIGARETTE, is about a young woman who is free and her older husband, who thinks she is having an affair. This is a real postwar crisis of masculinity in France. Dulac blends realistic acting and location shooting with impressionistic visual association to create tension between modernity and the past, life and death, and masculinity and femininity through cinematic techniques, editing, and more.
