This is a classic!

@Except it's all nonsense from that juvenile pervert's mind. She's just an everyday slut

ha ha ha, that's funny ! You're acting just like the two young male characters in the film ! You can't understand her, she threatens you, so you try to just put her down. And since it's a movie you can just call it all 'nonsense' and ignore it to your fragile ego's satisfaction.

So what if she's a 'slut' or more accurately a sexually liberated young woman that's not as dumb as you think. Can't someone make a movie about a young girl who screws around but who's also smart enough to own and manipulate through her intuition all the hypocritical guys who think they are so much smarter and better than her ?

I agree with the original poster. This film is an absolute masterpiece of subtlety. It is so dense in information underneath the deceptively simple surfaces that you can watch it any number of times and still be fascinated by it. Rohmer knows exactly what's significant about every gesture he captures here. Every gesture captured is worth a thousand words. Truffaut said this was one of the few films that sent him into a world of complete anonymity where he could just let go and dream.

The young girl, Haydee Politoff, is just fantastically directed by Rohmer into transcendent archetypes, where every gesture and look becomes significant enough to echo through all history of the feminine archetype. Godard also managed this with Jean Seberg & Anna Karina and Truffaut with Francoise Dorleac in "The Soft Skin." Rohmer pulled this off again a couple of years later with Francoise Fabian in "My Night At Maude's."

What's even more interesting to note is that this movie was a financial success. It actually played in one small movie theatre in Paris for an entire year when it was first released. That means, at the time, it was unique enough and popular enough with a certain niche audience to support one movie theatre that showed nothing else, for a whole year. Nowadays that de-conditioned audience is so small that it would probably open and close in a couple of weeks.
