Plot of movie?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS (though I doubt if anybody really cares)

This was a nice movie; essentially it shows the love between Serge and Jane. I get the feeling that when it developed, in real life, the director decided to make it the ONLY plot theme instead of the main one. Well, fair enough and when Jane was shown seated, nude, on the bath tub, the last thing I was concerned about was with whatever plot was occurring at that point.

Still, once in a while some other characters appear and reappear during the movie (other than serge's wife I mean) and I think they were supposed to represent some sort of plot that was intended, but never fully shown. Does anybody know what the original side plots were supposed to be??

One thing that hurt the movie was the idea that Serge would let Jane go; instead of marrying her. What man would actually do that to a 24 year old beauty? It is sorta stretching suspension of disbelief that a man would do so, and, in fact, Serge did not (in real life).

in the movie, jane was evelyn, a 18 year old. this movie wasnt their life story, or what not. i think the plot of the movie was just a story about a man who was growing old, and wanted younger girls to make him feel better. i watched the interview between jane birkin and the directer pierre grimblat on the dvd. serge had no interest in jane while shooting this movie at the beginning. and during the bath scene, jane says that although he could see whatever he wanted to because she was naked, he didnt try, and didnt care. she felt kinda useless. so im guessing during the filming of the scene, they still weren't a couple yet. and maybe during the whole fighting scenes later in the movie, they began to take interest in each other in real life.
