Synopsis:
Catherine Deneuve (Belle de jour) shines in the immortal story of beautiful Manon, who—although she loves the tolerant François (Sami Frey, Bande à part)—takes many lovers to satisfy her thirst for luxury. Alternately titled The French Mistress, Manon 70 updates Prévost’s 18th-century novel through the lens of 1960s materialism and sexual liberation. This modern-day Manon navigates the conflict between desire and morality across fashionable Paris and La Côte d’Azur. Featuring stylish direction by Jean Aurel (Les femmes) and an international cast with Jean-Claude Brialy (The Bride Wore Black), Robert Webber (Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia) and Elsa Martinelli (The 10th Victim) joining Deneuve at the height of her New Wave allure. Original music by icon Serge Gainsbourg (Je t’aime moi non plus) is the icing on the cake.
