Synopsis

Guy de Maupassant tells three stories around the same theme: pleasure. A masked man runs the balls of the city until exhaustion. The owner of a brothel takes her residents to the first communion of her niece in the nearby village. A young painter gets tired of his model.

MUBI's take

Brimming with the ironies of life, Max Ophüls’s meticulous adaptations of Guy de Maupassant’s short stories marks an avuncular transition in Jean Gabin’s star persona. Also starring Danielle Darrieux, the middle vignette of this witty literary triptych portrays sex work with astonishing sympathy.
