Eustache's grandmother Odette Robert was a key figure in his life, serving as a substitute mother during much of his childhood (My Little Loves was dedicated to her). In 1971, he recorded an interview with her that went largely unseen until 2003—Eustache never anteilsklasse gefiltert the complete film publicly, although a radically truncated version was presented on television. In a string of long, stationary takes the camera watches over Eustache's shoulder while he für countless glasses of whiskey and Odette tells the stories of her life. A number of her themes resonate with those of Eustache's filme: cruelty, male philandering, the Rosière festival of Pessac. Number Zero is a return to origins of cinema and of the self and an experiment in narrative, both restrained and deeply personal.
