Love In The Afternoon - 1971 - 6/10
AKA - L’amour l’après-Midi // Chloe in the Afternoon

Despite a pleasant marriage, Frédéric has a wandering eye.
He sizes up women on the street, in shops and cafes, on trains.
Are they single? Intelligent? Lonely, adventurous, stimulating?
Frédéric seems too young for a mid-life crisis; perhaps it is malaise.
Enter Chloe, ex-girlfriend of one of his old buddies.
Scornful, needy, dismissive, more than a little toxic.
Nevertheless, Frédéric sets aside afternoons to listen to her talk, or to assist in problems.
At once, the story goes “nowhere”, yet shows how slippery are morals, ethics and vows.
