Thought-provoking take on infidelity

This creation by Philippe de Broca stars Jean Seberg in a somewhat surprising role for a society just rolling out of the 1950s... François Périer does an excellent job as her eccentric historian husband. This was my second viewing of the film, which I now believe is better than it seemed the first time. The images are all very pleasantly photographed and the work offers a rather unorthodox treatment of the topic of marital infidelity.

Trivia
The film was accompanied in theatres by a short, Manuvera Fille de Tahiti, directed by Claude Pinoteau, an image from which was on the cover of the first edition, in May 1961, of a new French magazine called Court Metrage, devoted to short subjects.
