Hot and Blue

1972 · 93 min

A slow, talky French drama about marriage and desire, more cerebral than steamy, watching intimacy get tangled up with office ambition.

Overview
The relationship of a married couple takes an unexpected turn when the husband's boss gets the idea that their ad campaigns need spicing up with eroticism, and chooses his employee's wife as his assistant.
