Les Amants (1958)

Director - Louis Malle

Not really my kind of movie but Jeanne Moreau is incredibly attractive as a bored Upper-class wife who finds excitement with a new lover. Well made and interesting, as always, for the views of 1958 Paris and the countryside. Probably famous today because it was involved in the absurd 1964 SCOTUS case Jacobellis v. Ohio, where Justice Potter Stewart goofily stated "he knew Pornography when he saw it" but otherwise couldn't explain why.
