It's as if the film were a kind of living notebook for what Rohmer was to do later, with greater ease and refinement.
Overview
A bombastic, womanizing art dealer and his painter friend go to a seventeenth-century villa on the Riviera for a relaxing summer getaway. But their idyll is disturbed by the presence of the bohemian Haydée, accused of being a “collector” of men.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Wryly and delightfully witty.
Rohmer's impossibly light, graceful way of posing profound moral questions hasn't yet wholly coalesced, though this 1966 film does have his soft, slow rhythm.
