A Single Girl (French: La Fille seule) is a 1995 French drama film directed by Benoît Jacquot. It follows a day in the life of a young Parisian woman named Valérie (Virginie Ledoyen) who begins a new job at a four-star hotel the same day she reveals to her boyfriend (Benoît Magimel) that she is pregnant. The 90-minute film is shot in real time, with a very mobile camera style, recalling the French New Wave.[1]

Cast

Production

The film contains a non-simulated sex scene performed by Catherine Guittoneau and Hervé Gamelin. Virginie Ledoyen, who in the scene enters the room where the two are, said that director Benoît Jacquot had not warned her what was behind the door (she knew she was going to find a couple making love, but she did not think they would do it for real).[2]
