The first and only TV movie Jacques Demy ever made. And in terms of concept, it is also very suitable for the smaller screen. Little or no action, I wouldn't even call it a talk movie but rather an thinking movie. Almost three quarters of the film consists of the inner monologue of the writer Colette via text that she writes down. Interesting that this is an autobiographical film. The film was even shot in the house where the historic Colette stayed (in the 1920s) in Saint-Tropez. It is a Demy film, so luckily there is attention to colors, in nature and in the interior.

One of the most striking moments in the film is the scene in which 2 men dance together in a cafe and explain it ('because women can't dance'). This may have little to do with Colette's memoirs, but it concerns an approach by Jacques Demy himself, who, according to reports, would have been bisexual. This is also the only real action moment in the film. Furthermore, a lot of musing in addition to some key dialogues within the present triangular relationship of the characters. A film about love, aging, and what that does to love. For lovers of existential snacks this.
