Directed by Louis Malle

The Lovers debuted in 1958 and starred Jeanne Moreau. The film tells the tale of a wife who is married to a rich husband and has a young rich boyfriend. Even though she could get most anything she wants she is unhappy. On her way to a party for her friend and boyfriend she has car trouble and is picked up by a young hansom man that makes her laugh. The new young man is invited to stay over at her husband’s house along with her boyfriend. In the middle of the night, her passions overcome her and she chooses a lover.

The film had a good build up without getting too slow. The cinematography was very well done, especially for the time. The only downfall to the plot is the ending. It was a development that was too fast and unbelievable. Overall though the film was well done and keeps your attention the whole time.
