Bored with her husband, bored with her polo-playing lover, a middle-aged woman walks away with the young man who gave her a lift that day when her car broke down.
Produced with style and taste and a good cast, this movie may have caused an outrage at the time, but the analysis of bourgeois ennui is very much dated by today's standards.
Halliwell**: "A passionate romance which had some censorship difficulties at the time, this rather gloomy film never quite whirls one away as it should, and it doesn't have the eye for detail of Brief Encounter."
Maltin***: "Chic, once-controversial tale...Malle's first international success, and one of Moreau's most important early credits."
