The Libertine

Rating:
Summary: Little appreciated at time, wears well with age.
Review: A comedy with the theme that everyone is entitled to their own perversions, so long as "no one scares the horses." Trintignant plays a mildly befuddled medical school professor, and Spaak is a youthful and appealing widow who learns more and more about the secret life her recently deceased husband led on the side. She is not outraged by his perversions, only hurt that he did not think she would join in them. And, she sets out to discover what he found so exciting about them. Compare this comedic approach to sex with the dour, serious Swedish "I Am Curious Yellow" of the same period.

Summary: Film d' epoque.
Review: A good cast and an interesting script have good possibilities to have as result a good film. You have to watch this film concidering that is a film of the 60s. Is not bad but we have seen J.L. Tredigniand in better films. The unrated version is supposed to be uncut...he , he, ..i don't think so!The version i have seen some 25 years ago in my neighbourhood's cinema was somehow more daring..

Summary: Dissappointing
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out in 1969. I had fond memories of a movie that was sexually interesting and funny. However the video is of poor quality for the price. Also, the editing seems to have cut out substantial parts of the original. I would not recommend this video for purchase.

Summary: Entertaining , sexy 60's film
Review: This is a surprisingly entertaining movie. It is almost quaint.
Catherine Spaak, one of the most beautiful actresses of the 1960's is at her most beautiful as a widow who discovers her late husnband had an apartment that he used for kinky sexual escapades. She then decides to use that apartment for similar purposes and to live a more carefree sexual lifestyle.
Movie is full of typical 1960's touches, from the art direction to the music. This is not, though, an explicit sex movie or even one of those late night Cinemax flicks. This is a fine, sexy, very entertaining movie.
The VHS version of this movie was missing several minutes of the more naughty scenes. Luckily they have been restored for the DVD version. The print quality of those scenes is not up to par, but it is still nice to see a complete version. The DVD also features some "Deleted Scenes" and some amazing 1960's trailers from the Audubon Collection. They are truly fun to watch.
