How could Paul not tell the difference between Why and Frederique? Women have different size breasts and smell differently not to mention skin moles in different parts of the body, and yes, facial hair patterns all differ too. Even skin texture feels different as well as manners of kiss and embrace...
Chabrol is not the kind to show much... everything is told in the manners, the way of talking, the symbols. And, anyway, this film is all about ambiguity. One of the best scenes, to me, is the bath scene...
This movie could be done very better than it is now. It is too long, weak and boring.
Boringness starts already from the beginning of the film. It seemed to be accidently a middle-age woman picks a young woman(artist)up from the street: here we have no plot and no direction.
this film had plenty of chances it didn't take4daring penetrating psychological dialogue-but avoided it.i'd've wanted why's submissiveness towards frederique2b more thoroughly explored, would've wanted to see a consummation of her bisexual desires4a menage a trois including paul and frederique.i'd've wanted her "love" w/frederique+paul2have soared2passionate heights in order4why2b shot down+betrayed:but these great emotional highs+lows were never reached during the film-which i wanted to see.
audacious for its time in exploring bisexuality, etc, but it lacks depth, psychology, suspense and eroticism. the seduction of why by frederique, the seduction of why by paul and the seduction of frederique by paul are done too quickly, too short. no scene of great love is shown among either of the three, not only extremely little nudity (too little), but not even a passionate french kiss. more along the lines of why mimicking frederique + violence, rebellion against her would've made it better.
The Cannes Film Festival always gets me on these wild links. I was searching Claude Chabrol....and Isabelle Huppert...and voila...I wound up here. Vive la cinema francais!!!
Perfect the way it is, then and now.

Frederique (Stephane Audran) is so beautiful, so breathtaking erotic in this movie. I am still speechless...

Encore merci pour ce très beau film. Saint Tropez en hiver et il y a 40 ans rend l'atmosphère un peu oppressante. Formidable.

But thanks a lot for posting the movie.

it was amazing :O
Audran is so beautiful.
The end was intense, so did Why end up killing them both, or did she assume Frederique's identity?
