Il piacere

Le plaisir

by Max Ophuls

Le Plaisir is based on three short stories by Guy de Maupassant: Le Masque, La Maison Tellier e Le Modèle. Each story offers some food for thought about people's ever-evolving definition of pleasure. A fascinating triptych narrated by the voice of Jean Servais.
