Confessions of Loving Couples

1967 · 80 min

A moody, talky portrait of writerly self-absorption and romantic restlessness, more intellectual than erotic.

Overview
Author Frank's debut novel is successful, but he needs the proceeds to pay off a debt and his girlfriend Mascha ends their relationship. He meets another woman, but he and Mascha also seem to make amends. These amorous vicissitudes give him inspiration for a new book, which will deal with eroticism in the Netherlands.
