A free-thinking, long-striding, hair-flowing, healthy specimen of modern youth, and incidentally mistress of a middle-aged bureaucrat, decides to teach her unpampering lover a lesson by throwing herself at literally "the first man who comes along." The one she chooses (or accepts) is a Left Bank book worm who promptly pushes aside his faithful wife so as to take along his new heart-throb on a lecture trip to Barcelona. The arbitrariness of the heroine's initial action seems to be the guiding principle of the filmmaker as well. The character interaction between she-cat and he-mouse might have been more amusing if it seemed to be founded on honest and accurate perception of such types (or if Patrick Dewaere and Clio Goldsmith evidenced any talent for comedy), and the increasingly lunatic storyline might have had more import if its starting point weren't already over the borderline of lunacy. Directed by Luc Beraud. (1981) — Duncan Shepherd
