Paul Guers

Dressed from head to toe in couture Pierre Cardin, Jeanne Moreau is an impervious femme fatale in Jacques Demy’s tale of wayward gamblers, shot on the lush coast of Nice. Composed of tumbling piano runs, Michel Legrand’s score cascades like rain, an indelible accompaniment to a stormy love affair.

From acclaimed director Patrice Leconte ("Girl on the Bridge"), "Yvonne's Perfume" is a mysterious and romantic drama of desire. In the early 1950s, on the shores of a lake wedged between France and Switzerland, a trio of holiday travelers meet, clash, and fall in and out of friendship and love. Adapted from the novel Ville Triste by Nobel Prize-winner Patrick Modiano.
