Roberte (1979)
Film Synopsis
In 1958, Roberte is appointed president of the board of censorship under the Fourth French Republic. During the war, she served in the French Resistance, but now she is a respectable dignitary, leading a settled bourgeois existence. She is married to an older man, Octave, a professor in ecclesiastical law who has some very peculiar tastes in art. A model of virtue and respectability he might be in his public life, but Octave suffers from strange voyeuristic impulses that compel him to attend exhibitions of living tableaux which his wife finds perverse and disturbing. Roberte is further traumatised when her husband introduces her to someone who witnessed the terrible events that she experienced during the war...© James Travers
