The Ladies of the Bois de Boulogne
DramaRomance86 min
After her aristocratic lover pulls away, a society woman decides on revenge by steering him toward a young cabaret dancer whose reputation all but guarantees scandal. Maria Casares is the wounded socialite at the center of the scheme, while Paul Bernard's former lover moves through a trap built from vanity, desire, and social rank. Elina Labourdette brings a delicate reserve to the woman drawn into the arrangement. Robert Bresson’s 1945 French drama keeps the stakes in glances, drawing-room conversations, and the quiet calculations behind a polished upper-class world.
