The ending is absurd but it ties in

The ending is absurd but it ties in the story pretty well. I don't know much about French society back then, but I AI'ed it and found out that divorce was considered immoral and not a thing you do especially in high society. Also people back then often had arranged marriages, can't remember if Jeanne mentioned she was in one. Louise Malle understood this firsthand, having been born into a wealthy family and the innerworkings of snobiety. Jeanne was not just unhappy with her husband, she realized after meeting Bernard she hates all of it. The character Bernard symbolized the opposite of this life. Her leaving her husband and Raoul was her gaining freedom from this pretentious society. Loved the dialogue, the scenes, the cinematography, the mood, the acting. Like I said, absurd but overall a great film.

I'll start by saying this is a gorgeous

I'll start by saying this is a gorgeous film, with many beautiful scenes and fantastic 'New Wave' direction from Louis Malle. Jeanne Moreau plays a married woman with a disinterested husband (Alain Cuny), and, bored after 8 years of marriage, pursues an affair with a polo player (José Luis de Vilallonga). She does it under the guise of visiting her friend (Judith Magre) in Paris. This get a little ticklish when her husband starts to tire of the charade, and demands that she invite the two of them to dinner at their mansion in Dijon. The romantic tension in the film is palpable, and it's chic and stylish in its exploration of the age old theme of human relationships. There is an additional character who comes on the scene of Moreau's car breakdown (Jean-Marc Bory) who provides the film a voice for criticism about French society and the bourgeois. There is an extraordinary change of pace in what happens that night, but I won't spoil it, and it's best to not know what's coming when seeing this film for the first time. I'll just say that it enters a bit of a dreamlike and surreal haze, but as anyone who has ever been passionately in love will attest, that haze is quite realistic. In one highly charged scene, Moreau's lover goes down on her, which is bit shocking for 1958, a time when Hollywood by contrast was mired in the Hays Code and had married couples sleeping in separate beds. And yet it's tastefully and beautifully done, which is perhaps that's why Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart so famously said of this film that it was not pornography, because "I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." Indeed. There is a lot to love here. Moreau is wonderful, so beautiful and conveying so much emotion with her eyes. The acting is strong throughout, and the film still feels like a 'fresh voice' almost 60 years later. It's very romantic and yet honest at the same time, which is not easy. Great film.
