The Collector

Why we chose it

Short of money, Rohmer shot his first colour film out of sequence, with five lamps and whatever light was already there, and it turned out to be the most erotic of his “Six Moral Tales”. Three people share a villa, with the whole summer stretching out ahead of them.

Synopsis

Adrien arrives at a friend’s seaside villa meaning to spend the entire summer doing nothing whatsoever, only to find two people already staying there. One is Daniel, an old acquaintance, and the other is Haydée, who takes someone new to bed almost every night. The two men make a pact to ignore her, but it doesn’t take Adrien long to work out that he’s next.
