Psychological narrative avant-garde film about a wealthy young businessman who consecutively falls in love with a classy English woman (Pearl), a Russian sculptress (Athalia), and a naive working-class girl (Lucie). Overpowered by weakness, the coward sidesteps the obligations that love affairs impose.
Although the French-accented English narration helps the plot move along, it does not make up for the fact that this is a rather bland film. It is not one of the more interesting or experimental "avant garde" films, and if someone wanted to skip any movie in Kino's box set, I suppose this would be the one to skip.
