IMDb plot summary: An unhappily married socialite finds solace in the company of a recently divorced doctor.
Directed by Richard Lester. Starring Julie Christie, George C. Scott, Richard Chamberlain, and Arthur Hill.
This is not a French movie, but it has a very French New Wave feel to it, in its near-incomprehensible character choices and its awkwardly nonlinear storytelling. It has a few moments of resonance (Petulia's relationship with her husband had some fascinating moments) but on the whole it's a movie at a distance, but from a distance these characters are muddled and I can't figure out why I'm supposed to be watching them.
How it entered my Flickchart:
Petulia < Blow Out
Petulia > A Farewell to Fools
Petulia < Definitely, Maybe

Final spot: #2077 out of 3023.
