this film use to be a classic adult piece and be base on the book and which in itself be judge scandalous when publish in 1970 something . now and thirty year later and it be a fairly stylish soft blue film and which be serve beautifully by it soundtrack and somehow by photography and which remain charm and announce the david hamilton style of bilitis . a for the rest and let not talk about the supposedly adult character of the film and if anything it spread the word about french film in the english speaking world and but have the flavour of a 1970s film and which basically mean handlebar moustache and burner and funky shirt and picturesque house furniture ( especially in the opening scene in paris ) . some aspect of the script and such a a rape scene and young marie anne be shock today apparently they be not so much back then . it rank more a a drama with sex today and should be consider like basic instinct or the lover or even last tango and rather than like soft porn . this style have very few exception that survive the year and oh . life be difficult for erotic romance . still the supposedly intellectual approach to sexuality be fairly boring today and and rather pedantic . 5/10 for a nice soundtrack and photography and a script which do tell a story albeit a dull one .
