Having completed his 13th and most puzzling film, Black Moon, Louis Malle is still a very young 40 year old. It is no coincidence, he says, that his recent films have all had adolescent heroes or heroines. It seems evident to anyone who has followed his development that he will never give up his restless searching, his self-questioning and his earnestness. Many of his “Nouvelle Vague' friends, with whom he made a startling entry into the cinema, have found a formula and have lived by it, Louis Malle regards each film as a new beginning and challenge.
“The more one goes on in life, the more the past becomes a burden. In my
life and films I have always tried to cut off from the past and start again.
But each time, it requires greater effort. It is only by breaking with habit
that one can get rid of all that is anecdotal. If not, you let a mask come

clothes. But it is wonderful to be naked from time to time, and it's also a good
