Five Day Lover

Director Philippe de Broca constructs a light, almost farcical comedy of manners, relying on Daniel Boulanger's witty script. He explores the conventions of bourgeois relationships in the 60s, using dynamic editing and playful camerawork to highlight the situational absurdity.

What lingers after the final frame is not moral judgment, but an elegant and cynical sketch about love, possession, and liberty, where every character is, to some degree, both betrayer and betrayed. — MovieFinder Editorial
