Lots of talking in this movie. A quite sexist premise too: the boyfriends of a certain woman all die. But when it's time for existentialism, this pic has it. Well-dressed couples debate the meaning of relationships; the value of openness; the desirability of commitment. A man gets interested in the woman whose boyfriends have died, and more discussions ensue. Their parents enter the fray. Influenced by the French New Wave, but it's filmed in Buenos Aires, has some street scenes. Based on a story by Cortazar, which is all to the good. Worth seeing, because you can get into the zone of this movie and it will carry you along.
