English title: Time Out for Love
A young American woman spending some time in France nurses a woman through her recovery from a suicide attempt. A friendship is born between them, which is strained when the younger woman falls in love with her new friend's former lover.
Drama about the love-related troubles of some upper-class folks; actually there is only one guy and three women who revolve around him. The main dramatic point derives from men (as represented by this one guy) being passionate yet fickle and women being transported to amorous ecstasy only to have their feelings shattered subsequently. These women react somewhat differently to the experience. The two French women stand at the opposite ends of resilient cynicism and suicidal despondency, respectively; for the American it all eventually becomes part of the growing pains. This is an elegantly made film, with dialogue which seems a bit on the artificial side, and not infrequently a little enigmatic (though that's possibly only me).
