kevin w Vadim broke filmic sexual taboos for his time which seem tame nowadays, and so this look at decadence may be nigh forgotten and yet it still holds power as an intelligent liberal couple sow seeds of discontent merely because they can ... to their consuming regret (it was still the 1950's!). Interesting especially as seduction is very important to coercion in Vadim's eyes, and how American jazz, supplied by no less than Thelonius Monk, is only a tool of that decadence ... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Good version of the play that does a good job with the pleasures of the story but also doesn't entirely resolve the lack of emotion in the two leads. The story still feels like it's satisfying a desire to see people fail, at one level or another. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful performance by Moreau. This film broke so many barriers in terms of sexuality. I loved the theme of exploring women...finding the purpose of a woman, their intentions, desires, etc. Oh! and I absolutely loved the The Thelonius Monk music. The music played brilliantly throughout the whole film.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Decadent fun, with a cool Thelonius Monk score. The accidental self-immolation at the end was a bit extreme, but overall, it's hard to believe this was made by the guy who did "Barbarella." Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful lead performances by Jeanne Moreau and Gerard Philipe highligt this trendy version a classic. Watch out for a young Jean-Louis Tringtignant in the Keanu Reeves-part. The music is good music but too much of it, which distracts you from the story.
