Wikipedia article
'A Single Girl' is a 1995 French drama film directed by Benot Jacquot. It follows a day in the life of a young Parisian woman named Valrie (Virginie Ledoyen) who begins a new job at a four-star hotel the same day she reveals to her boyfriend (Benot Magimel) that she is pregnant. The 90-minute film is shot in real time, with a very mobile camera style, recalling the French New Wave.
This was the breakthrough role for the 19-year-old Ledoyen (who later became known in the United States for the 2000 film 'The Beach'), and earned her a Csar Award nomination.

Production
The film contains a non-simulated sex scene performed by Catherine Guittoneau and Herv Gamelin. Virginie Ledoyen, who in the scene enters the room where the two are, said that director Benot Jacquot had not warned her what was behind the door (she knew she was going to find a couple making love, but she did not think they would do it for real).
