What a wonderful wonderful movie, gentle and sexy and so full of real lessons. It could so easily have tipped into soft-core but avoids every trap - a movie of conversations and actions and results and consequences. The title might suggest that this is going to be a movie overflowing with nudity (there's none) and simulated sex (again none). I think I would sum it upas gentle and sexy without crudity.
Both of the lead actors are superb. The direction is faultless and you feel as though you are moving through the parties, perhaps I should term them soirees, as Madame Simone does. In many way this could have been an elegant West End or Broadway play since almost the whole movie revolves around the two leads with everyone else there as support - and for that reason there will be many who will dislike it but I will say it again - WONDERFUL and beautiful and I LOVED the ending!
