Acerca de esta película
Fool's Mate is a 1956 short film directed by Jacques Rivette.
It stars Virginie Vitry as a wife cheating on her husband. When her lover buys her a mink coat, the adulterous pair hatch a plan to avoid her husband's questioning the coat's origins.
Fool's Mate is considered by some to be the first film of the French New Wave, or the movement's earliest antecedent. Released in 1956, the film is something of a curio thanks to a scene in which Rivette and New Wave contemporaries Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard, and François Truffaut are seen in the same room as party guests.
