French drama. A student befriends a homeless woman.
Johnny Moronic reviewed it as follows:
It’s more 90s with another French movie, the 1991 postmodern comedy/drama Merci la Vie, an incredibly odd movie about two lonely women Camille (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and Joëlle (Anouk Grinberg) who meet and decide to become friends and end up having little adventures together that begin with just picking up men. Once Joëlle is ‘discovered’ and becomes an actress, the adventures get darker and more surreal. Absolutely baffling stuff, chock full of big name French stars in cameos and a plot so impenetrable it’s impossible to describe. The movie gets so dark that it concludes with a horrifying Nazi death train plot which I have no idea how it even got there. Definitely unique.

Very cute actress, she was 28 when she shot this but looks a lot younger
