Belle toujours occurred to me unexpectedly and, as I had the will to pay my tribute to Luis Buñuel and Jean-Claude Carrière, I was happy to have found a way to do so, perhaps the best, and I started working. What is it about? Taking two of the strange characters from the film Belle de Jour, and make them relive, thirty eight years later, in the strangeness of a secret which was only in the possession of the masculine character and a knowledge that had become crucial to the female character. Thus, passed this time, they meet again. She tries to avoid him by all means. But he stalks her and eventually manages to gain her attention with the intention of revealing the secret that he alone can unfold. They set a meeting, a dinner, where she expects that all will be revealed. During dinner, she, now a widow, awaits the expected revelation: what he had told her husband while he was mute and paralytic because of a gunshot wound fired by a lover of hers. The situation is tense and she ends up in despair without being able to find out what in truth happened. He is satisfied in his sadism and in his particular revenge from the ways of that woman, who deep down desired him but whose haughty ways never allowed him to possess her. 受虐狂。与电影大师de Oliveira捉迷藏。四十年里迷恋你。观影——《永远的美人》。 赛弗丽娜（布鲁·欧吉尔 Bulle Ogier 饰）在外人看来几乎是一个完美的妻子，她礼貌、温柔，对于所有人都和蔼可亲但却在无形之中给人一种距离感，这样一个女人，没有人能够想得到，为了追求性的快感，填补内心的空虚，赛弗丽娜每天下午都会到妓院去上班。亨利（米歇尔·皮寇利 Michel Piccoli 饰）是赛弗丽娜丈夫的好友，一次偶然中，他发现了朋友的妻子的秘密，赛弗丽娜所表现出来的判若两人的热情令亨利深深的着迷。 一晃眼四十年过去了，机缘巧合之下，亨利再度邂逅了赛弗丽娜，埋藏在时间深处的疑问和激情再度浮现，在亨利的百般请求之下，赛弗丽娜总算答应给亨利一个机会，一个解答他所有疑问的机会。
