An engrossing look at a wife who spurns the comforts of bourgeois security for the pleasures of a bohemian lifestyle with a dangerously charming, drunken and chain-smoking womanizer. Riding a sexual and emotional rollercoaster, the incongruous pair slowly discover real love and affection. A rambling road movie that captures life on the edge, yet all the while, never leaving the streets of Paris. (David Bleiler)
