Description
Bored, wealthy Parisian socialite Frederique (Stéphane Audran, then director Claude Chabrol's wife and the star of many of his films) picks up young sidewalk artist Why (Jacqueline Sassard), brings her home, offers her a nice hot bath and coffee, and seduces her. Then Why follows Frederique to the latter's Saint-Tropez villa, where they alter their sensuous encounters with wild parties for the idle rich. At one of these parties, Why meets Paul (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a handsome young architect, and immediately falls for him. Jealous Frederique intervenes only to lure Paul into her own arms, and the two soon depart for Paris, leaving Why alone with her frustration at the villa. Though often labeled the French Hitchcock, here Chabrol consciously abandons suspense for adult-oriented drama.

Claude Chabrol Movies Are Fascinating
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not an action packed movie, nevertheless it is very edgy. It is stylized, with attractive characters posing throughout. It isn’t too chatty the way some French cinema is. The dialogue leaves questions unanswered, and I was constantly wondering what would happen next. It is erotic in intriguing ways, and It is challenging. Bottom line: I was never bored.
