Romy Schneider and Ottavia Piccolo - Mado Claude Sote in the '70s was good. Each of his films with Romi turned out to be deep and not at all simple, subtle. It happened this time, although Romy was not at all in the foreground, and the picture came out not too balanced. But the tape still looked like it.
The central female role, as well as the main emphasis, was given to Ottavia Piccolo. A beautiful young woman, who is quite confident in her candid scenes, plays a prostitute who chooses her profession as the most reasonable decision in the current social system. The unexpected love triangle between Michel Piccoli in love with her and Charles Denner, who charmed her, intentionally looks like a farce. It is nothing more than a game of imagination, a humorous trickster that should smooth out the display of social contradictions and the allowable escape that prostitution allows. After all, the heroine will draw a parallel between herself and those other girls who work in enterprises for eight hours. A little later, Godard in "Save Your Life Who Can" will reveal this topic much more powerfully. Well, in the meantime, the viewer is invited to just enjoy the decent direction of Sote and a small acting work by Romy Schneider. And it doesn't really matter that Piccolo is prima here, quite deservedly, by the way. It is also important that the film was shot at a very professional level. Although, of course, the ending and the second half turned out to be blurred, lost and boring.
