La nuit infidèle

Jerome and Florence have been married for five years ;they spend a week in Camague ,where they met and fell in love.Their mariage runs into difficulties : the daily routine has taken its doll.Florence intends to rekindle her husband's love and thoughtfulness.As for Jerome , this vacation means wild rides in the magnificent landscapes of this region in the south of France .At night ,he falls quickly asleep and his wife remembers their past.

This movie was relegated to the soft porn category when it was released whereas it's actually a psychological drama :the three principals , André Oumansky,Louis Velle and Christiane Minazzoli , are not porn stars ,but genuine actors ,essentially working on stage or TV .

In his short output (5 films in all) , Antoine d'Ormesson seems to be interested in the situation seen from different points of view: that's what he had done, in his smart thriller "Le Faux Pas" (1964); here the wife remembers the way their love used to be ,her temptations (with a handsome man played by Louis Velle) ,while her husband is sleeping ;then she falls asleep,he awakes and it's his turn to relive the past : his way of looking at thinks is quite different from hers .

When they awake,will they be able to pick up the pieces?
