La vallée

La Vallée, also known as Obscured By Clouds, is a 1972 French film written and directed by Barbet Schroeder. The film stars Bulle Ogier as Viviane, a woman who goes on a strange and accidental voyage of self-discovery through the New Guinea bush. Pink Floyd recorded an album, Obscured by Clouds, as the soundtrack to the film. After recording had finished, the band fell out with the film company, prompting them to release the soundtrack album as Obscured by Clouds, rather than La Vallée. In response, the film was retitled La Vallée (Obscured by Clouds) on its release. The actress credit "Monique Giraudy" is actually an alias of Miquette Giraudy, at the time a film editor and later on, vocalist and synthesizer player with the progressive rock/space rock band Gong with her partner Steve Hillage, and later formed the electronic group System 7 with Hillage.
