« This [Le sourd dans la ville] was a challenging work to adapt for the cinema, since it is basically a novel in polyphonic free direct discourse in which the voices of several
characters can inhabit the same lengthy sentence. In her adaptation,
however, Dansereau has achieved a cinematic equivalent of this
interiorization and provided a centred, guiding thread. This is Florence [...]
whose husband has left her and who leaves her luxurious apartment
overlooking the city, through which she wanders, ending up in a sordid
hotel [...]. »
