La collectionneuse (1967) is a French film co-written and directed by Éric Rohmer.
The film stars Patrick Bauchau as Adrien, an art dealer (sort of). Haydée Politoff portrays a beautiful woman named Haydée. Her job is to look beautiful.
In theory she's the collector, not Patrick. She collects men who will go to bed with her. Adrien finds it a challenge to prove he won't be part of her collection.
Adrien and his friends talk and talk. Then, for a break, they talk some more. Sometimes they talk about Haydée, even if she's there.
We know that people talk in Rohmer's movies. You don't go to a Rohmer movie expecting car chases or gunshots. The problem with this film is that the talk is boring. Why spend 1 1/2 hours listening to guys talk about nothing?
This movie carries a very strong IMDb rating of 7.5. Why? I gave it a 6.
