    Where to Watch

In this French satire, a femme fatale captures the soul of every man she encounters. The story really begins as a hapless fellow picks her up at a church and ends up taking her back to his apartment. He does this out of kindness, not out of sexual desire. He soon falls in love with her and so does his roommate who immediately jilts his fiance. The two rivals eventually catch on to her games, throw her out and begin living their regular lives.

A pleasant French satire about femme fatale Romance entrapping any man she comes in contact with. Simon picks her up at church, innocently bringing her back to his apartment. He quickly falls in love with her, as does his roommate Rossi, who forsakes his intended marriage for Romance. The two eventually get wise to Romance, tossing her out, and returning to their normal lives. Exceptional performances overshadow incompetent technical work. (In French with English subtitles.)
