Anicée Alvina

With one of their fathers recently deceased and the other hardly there, fate brings fifteen-year-old Paul and fourteen-year-old Michelle together in a chance encounter. Instant friends, the young couple flees Paris on a whim, and takes refuge in a rural cottage. But as their fondness for each other blossoms into deep affection, their short trip becomes longer and their love deeper.

Alain Robbe-Grillet’s serpentine erotic mystery presented as a surreal investigation into a woman with feared sexual powers.

Catherine Deneuve and Vittorio Gassman star in this intense psychological drama directed by Dino Risi. A successful man becomes obsessed with a locked room in his villa, unlocking a haunting past. As his mental state unravels, the film explores repression and guilt. The film marks a rare dark turn for Risi, master of Italian comedy.
