Tristesse et beauté (1985)

Based on a novel by the Japanese Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata, this limp soft-porn melodrama might have been scribbled on an off day by the writers of Emmanuelle 6. A glamorous but unhappy lesbian artist (Charlotte Rampling) manipulates her young protegee (Myriem Roussel) to seduce and destroy a man (Andrzej Zulawski) who jilted her years before.
