We go back to the French New Wave film "La Collectioneuse" directed by Eric Rohmer. Released in 1967, the film tells the story of Adrien, a cynical art dealer and a young woman named Haydée. Adrien and his fiancée part on bad terms before she goes to work in London, leaving Adrien to stay at a villa near St Tropez with old friend Daniel. They discover that the villa's third occupant, Haydée, is promiscuous and they bully her by branding her a collector of men. Adrien eventually develops feelings for Haydée and tries to win her over, but things go awry when they visit a crass American collector. The film's title "La Collectioneuse" refers to Haydée's character, who is a collector of men, rather than objects. The film is part of Rohmer's "Six Moral Tales" series, which explores themes of love, desire, and morality. This film was Branson's selection
