From the opening scene where Bardot enters a highly-stylized church filled only with women, you know you are in for a different movie. Bardot plays Jeanne, an avenging angel who wants to tear apart the basic fabric of society by challenging the supremacy of males. She seduces then abandons a politician/archery champion. Later she infuriates a cruel and wealthy industrialist named Louis Prevost. Along the way she also targets a young singer and lastly her first cousin Paul, the priest, who has been listening to her story throughout (and must be as bored as we are.). The film is marred by (arguably) the most annoying soundtrack ever written. During every dramatic moment a singer intones: Don Juan, Don Juan, you are a woman, you are a woman sent from heaven... And this music assaults the viewer during every dramatic scene. Best scene: Jeanne and Clara lie in naked bliss, without the soundtrack beating the viewer over the head. Perhaps what this film might have been like if Vadim had just trusted his actors to deliver the message....a real disappointment.
