Ce soir ou jamais

Not much story here, but still a sophisticated, subtly sensual, entertaining talkathon, set entirely inside a Parisian apartment and unfolding in real time, but directed with enough camera fluidity that the viewer never feels trapped. It is also a celebration of female beauty, and a great showcase for Anna Karina in particular who, in one of her first roles, is childlike, seductive, mysterious and funny (to quote a scene in the film itself). Though - and that's a matter of personal preference for stronger bodies - I find Jacqueline Danno (Martine) even sexier. *** out of 4.
