Film Synopsis

A bombastic, womanizing art dealer and his painter friend go to a seventeenth - century villa on the Riviera for a relaxing summer getaway. But their idyll is disturbed by the presence of the bohemian Haydee, accused of being a "collector" of men. Rohmer's first color film, La collectionneuse pushes the Moral Tales into new, darker realms. Yet it is also a grand showcase for the clever and delectably ironic battle - of - the - sexes repartee (in a witty script written by Rohmer and the three main actors) and luscious, effortless Nestor Almendros photography that would define the remainder of the series.

Available only as part of the Six Moral Tales Box Set.
