Surreal Black and White French Movie

This film keeps coming back to me, but I cannot unravel what it is… It’s at the point where “film”, as a descriptor, no longer feels right.

What is certain: The movie was in black and white; The movie was surreal; The language spoken was French; The beginning scene is of a girl driving slowly up to a house (the house is in the countryside). For some reason the girl cannot leave the property (I remember a ~7ft wall in the forest). The girl (main character) is between 18-28 years of age.

What is likely: The girl rummages through the house; There was a weird scene in the kitchen (weird as in close-ups of old kitchen utensils); At some point, the camera pans into a clock; The girl wanders from the house to the surrounding meadow and then into the woods (but can progress no further because of the wall). The girl recognizes the wall as an oddity. After coming across the wall, a man soon appears.

The above, what I’ve recounted, is only a third of the film (I cannot remember anything else, sorry).

Thanks for reading!
