A Bout De Souffle.
Not quite what I expected, but pretty decent nonetheless. The lead bloke reminded me quite a lot of Christophe Lambert, facially, and I didn't get the mouth rubbing thing, but aside from that, a nice slice of French New Wave.

Poor Jean Seberg. The end of her life was tragic.

Why; what happened ?
She reminded me of Shirley McLaine in The Trouble With Harry; so vivacious. And not many women could pull off that sort of hair style ...

In August 1979, she was missing and found dead 11 days later in the back seat of her car, which was parked around the corner from her Paris apartment in the 16th arrondissement. The police report stated that she had taken a massive overdose of barbiturates and alcohol (8g per litre). A suicide note ("Forgive me. I can no longer live with my nerves.") was found in her hand, and suicide was ultimately ruled the official cause of death. However, it is often questioned how she could have operated a car with that amount of alcohol in her body, and without the corrective lenses she always maintained she absolutely needed for driving. She was 40 years old when she died.

OP - I read it as 'Boule de Suif' - a Maupassant short story.

You mean the fillum was originally a short story, or that you need glasses ?
