predictable

She should have realized at some point the wife would find out so yes her motive/s would have seemed better if she would have told her she needed a friend, on another note I was not so sure this was a lesbian thing with Nathalie, but could have been a need to be close to her.

But doesn’t it show how out of touch, one could almost say innocent, Catherine is in believing what she’s told? As a gynaecologist, an upper middle class intellectual, she may know a lot about women’s bodies but whole areas of women’s experience seem alien to her. Her awkward one-night fling with the barman shows that she lacks the easy come and go of contemporary promiscuity. And in her elegant business clothes and coiffure isn’t her discovery of the louche club with its trashy whores quite comic? Moving into a world where she does not know the rules, isn’t she highly liable to be taken for a ride? Isn't it the job of a prostitute, like a hairdresser or a beautician, not to tell the truth but to satisfy the client's fantasies?
