Les Biches
(I saw someone’s review about this movie. They say "it’ll more be easier if they had a threesome" I MEAN LIKE LMAOOO WHAATTT 😭😭💔💔)

Okay, okaayy, let’s be serious and I represent this movie for Rocky (again) 🗿

Claude Chabrol shows a simple love triangle, but slowly reveals it as something much darker and more toxic. The story follows Frédérique, a wealthy woman who takes in a bohemian artist named Why. Their relationship begins with intimacy and fascination, but things shift when Paul, a charming architect, enters to their life

What unfolds is a battle of desire, jealousy, and control. Why, fragile and searching for belonging, begins to feel pushed aside. Frédérique exerts dominance with her wealth and confidence. And Paul, almost unwittingly, becomes the catalyst for their unraveling

Chabrol wraps this tense drama in elegance, like stylish costumes, luxurious Saint-Tropez settings, and that unmistakable late ’60s chic. But beneath the glossy surface lies a tale of manipulation, obsession, and the fragile line between love and possession. The ending lands with a sharp chill, leaving you unsettled long after the credits

Les Biches isn’t just a romantic melodrama, but it’s a striking portrait of human relationships crumbling under the weight of power and desire ❤️‍🩹> **wanna drop the biggest plot twist about this filmmaking:
***Stéphane Audran, who played character Frédérique, she’s the first ex-wife of Jean-Louis Trintignant (who played Paul) irl
*And when this movie was made, Stéphane was already married to Claude Chabrol, also the director of this movie... 😃
