Duras was in her fifties when she directed La Musica (1967), one of her more conventional films, in which Delphine Seyrig and Robert Hossein play a divorced couple who badger each other with their separate, incompatible truths. This directorial debut came nearly a decade after Duras had written the script for Alain Resnais’s Hiroshima mon amour (1959), and as her own work was getting spoiled on-screen.
