Why we chose it

Rohmer opens with a proverb: whoever has two women loses his soul, whoever has two houses loses his mind. Louise has a boyfriend in the suburbs and a studio in Paris, and almost everything goes her way until the end. Pascale Ogier won a prize at Venice for the role, then died weeks later at 25.

Synopsis

Louise has just started work as an interior decorator. She lives with Rémi in the suburbs but longs for evenings of her own, so she keeps a studio flat in Paris where she can go out alone. She offers her boyfriend an arrangement with just one rule: whoever falls for someone else has to admit it.
