"La Récréation" directed by François Moreuil can be classified as "nouvelle vague", Jean Seberg had just played in "A bout de soufflé" (in which François Moreuil even appeared as a journalist). Some scenes are very similar, though the story is completely different. "La Récréation" is a story of seduction that cannot last. Jean Seberg is absolutely delicious and sexy all through the movie, until one strong sequence in which she becomes darkly frightening. Lot of sequences are nicely shot.
It is very strange to see that "La Récréation" was helped in production by Christian Stengel whose last work was "Vacances explosives" in 1957. Christian Stengel worked with the most popular french actors (Jules Berry, Arletty, Raymond Bussières, Noël Noël, Blanchette Brunoy, ...) since 1937 and was director of Pathé in 1940-45. Maybe it was a last need to work on a different movie, especially with so delicious Jean Seberg.
