Suzanne's career

Barbet Schroeder said that "each of the six moral tales, made between 1962 and 1972, is based on an identical narrative scheme. The male hero gives in, for the time of the film, to outside temptation before getting onto the normal track in extremis. These first two tales show this. "They develop two essential elements: the founding space of the fiction (the Villiers intersection, near the Parc Monceau) and romantic relationships (the revulsive puritanism of Bertrand and Guillaume's Don Juan attitude in relation to Suzanne). The first reveals the Rohmerian hero: a conceited, narcissistic narrator, more concerned about justifying his (finally abject) behaviour than tuning into ethical conceptions. The second, a genuine rounded Rohmerian woman: manipulated in appearance, a cunning manipulator in reality" (Joël Magny).
