Was I the only one bored?
I just watched this and found it boring. The most dramatic thing is the title. Why did Joe Bob Briggs include this in his book "Profoundly Disturbing"? Nothing disturbing here.

Yes.

Perhaps some of the acting was wooden and parts of the story were slow but it became very powerful in the end.
shareMaybe I'll have to re-watch this film.
shareMaybe the first and last 10 minutes or so.
I must admit I was fairly bored 90% of the time. The French are a conservative lot and the seaside can drag on. I guess that's why she was bored.
In the end every man conceded defeat. She was bad to the bone.
The French are conservative? Have you noticed that this film was made in 1956?! It was radically liberal and revolutionary for a film made in that time. Compare it to other films from that era, particularly American films, and then come on here and say that the French are conservative. This film epitomizes French liberalism (Bardot's character) and how revolutionary French art/film has been over the last 100 years.
shareWhat? She wasn't "bad to the bone." Just young and impetuous. That Michel kid finally wised up and took his family's advice and "tamed" that chic. I don't know if the tactic he used was prudent, but apparently, we are supposed to believe that it worked well enough. I mean, that was the 50's. I don't really believe that the French are too conservative. Especially when you look at them through the lens of relativity.
shareNo. It's a pretty uninteresting movie. Bardot's performance and its impact in the movie history is very relevant, but the movie itself is below average.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
