About
You may enjoy this if you’re curious about a provocative, mid-century French melodrama with beach-town heat and messy romance; Not for you if you want modern sensibilities, likable characters, or a tightly plotted story like Les Biches.
Pros: bold sensual energy; sunlit seaside setting; memorable dance moments | Cons: thin, uneven drama; dated attitudes; slow, repetitive stretches
