Aroview: Three tales by Guy de Maupassant go into this visually elegant treatise on the changing moods of love, youth and memory.

The most successful episode concerns the women of a brothel taking a country outing, while elsewhere the filmmaking mastery easily redeems any narrative shortcomings. Acclaimed by the likes of Godard, and starring the cream of French talent.
