“Il y a deux types qui nous suivent, ils s’appellent Robègue et Riais”

This film was one of several collaborations between Chabrol and his wife Audran and it restored him to favour after several years in the critical wilderness. He described the callous tale of an architect who becomes involved in the strange relationship between two women as 'the first film I made exactly as I wished' and set it in an impeccably observed off-season St. Tropez. A brilliantly performed, exquisite drama..

Incredible moments of ambiguity! When a man divides two women in lust, all actions that play him like a face in a game of poker reveal the multiplicity in motivations. Sassard's character is given the name "Why," which emphasizes the layered answer to vague boundaries of emotions and desires. When Frederique seduces Why's male fling Paul, it is as much about jealousy as it is to reveal the ludicrous nature of men.

A very good Chabrol. Perhaps not great, but as the review below says, very sensual.

Sensual, but a little bit boring

I suppose it was pretty steamy in its day, but seems rather tame today. Nevertheless, it is still fun to watch.

"Persona" light. Not terrible, but not great either.

Stylish. I remember I had a lot of fun watching this. Will have to try and see it again sometime!

unbearable. watch "persona" instead if you want a psychological thriller, "cruel intentions" if you want to see something even remotely sexy. hitchcock this definitely ain't.
