ATELIER DE CONVERSATION

Somebody is asked what is a cliché. The response follows, "A subway stop on the U-13 line."

This situational pun encapsulates much of what this lovely documentary film is driving at. It is about conversational situations in which stereotypes coincide with concrete perspectives. This however does not occur in an orderly comparison to real life, but rather in a cascade of discreet linguistic leaps and shifts characteristic of conversation, especially when it takes place in a circle...
