, 1h45 Directed byJean-François Stévenin, Alain Cavalier OriginFrance GenresDrama, Comedy-drama, Romantic comedy, Romance ActorsCatherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, Roger Van Hool, Irène Tunc, Jacques Sereys, Amidou Rating63% A woman and a poor artist begin an affair and eventually move in together, but the woman cannot get used to his life, his working-class existence. She leaves her lover to return to her relationship with a man of means. Ostensibly, she is rejecting her lover because she feels stifled by his position in society. But the class differences are metaphor for the quality of the love, with a woman deciding to be with a man who loves her for who she is rather than as an object of affection, merely the focus of a selfish love. She wants to be with the one who doesn't ask her to change.

Mais vous n'aurez à entendre aucun dialogue. Les mots ne préparent pas, n'accompagnent pas, ne commentent pas l'action. Il ne s'agit pas d'un film muet, mais seulement de ne retenir pour le spectacle cinématographique que les moments de la vie où l'on ne parle pas. Le spectateur y trouvera peut-être une plus grande liberté d'interprétation et, nous l'espérons, un plaisir particulier.
