Don't you just love these French songs with their evocative and allusive lyrics?
In listening to Jeanne Moreau, I am reminded of Chris Marker's amazing documentary, "La solitude du chanteur de fond," about Yves Montand rehearsing for a concert in support of refugees from Chile after the overthrow of Allende.
A side note: pretty well everything that Chris Marker made was brilliant: cf. "La Jetée."

Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics. Need to watch Jules et Jim now.
