The Mother and the Whore	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Mother and the Whore (La maman et la putain) is a 3 hour, 36 minute 1973 film from France directed by Jean Eustache.Alexandre (Jean-Pierre Léaud) is a jobless young man in his late twenties. He can afford to be jobless in Paris because he is sponging off his lover, Marie, who owns a clothing store. Living with Marie does not stop Alexandre from chasing women all over the place. For her part Marie, who is in her mid-thirties, is pretty shockingly unbothered by her younger lover's constant cheating, usually expressing only mild irritation when he comes home late from a tryst.One day Alexandre leaves Marie's bed, seeks out an old girlfriend named Gilberte, and asks her to marry him. Gilberte rejects him, and Alexandre is regrouping in a cafe when he catches the eye of lovely Veronika. Veronika, a blonde-haired, sexually adventurous nurse (she wants sex on a park bench!) and Alexandre are soon having a passionate affair, while he's still living with and sleeping with Marie. Marie knows about Veronika from the beginning and Veronika eventually finds out about Marie. Alexandre and his two women soon form a threesome, but tensions and jealousies still roil the group.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

The Mother and the Whore / int_6ca72c26	comment	All Take and No Give: In one of her too-rare moments of clarity, Marie observes of Alexandre that "what you do well is drain people." Alexandre is getting sex from both Marie and Veronika and even manages to get them both into a ménage, but he seems incapable of providing the real love they're both looking for.

The Mother and the Whore / int_6d9bc945	comment	Babies Ever After: At the end it's Veronika's turn to stalk out of the ménage in a rage. Alexandre pursues her to the nursing dorm, where she tells him that she's pregnant but she doesn't want anything from him. He asks her to marry him and she agrees, but since the film ends immediately after this with Veronika vomiting into a bowl while a stunned Alexandre does a Wall Slump to the floor, it doesn't seem like much of a happy ending.
