Love At The Top - 1974 - 7/10
AKA - Le Mouton Enragé

During his lunch break, an insignificant bank clerk initiates a conversation with a girl watching trains.
She is enticing, in a sexy way, and later the clerk tells a friend about the encounter.
Mind you, nothing came of that, but the friend, a writer, starts suggesting and advising the clerk what he should do.
At this point, I became of two minds regarding this film, which is one of love affairs and adult games.
One – the writer is a Mephistophelian sort, tempting and maneuvering souls per dark design.
Two – none of the characters actually exist, but are constructs of the writer.
Of course, I could have been wrong, and should have accepted the film as a sadly funny satire.
Top cast includes Jean-Louis Trintignant, Romy Schneider, and a fetching Jane Birkin.
