Malle's second film, Les Amants stars Jeanne Moreau as a middle-class wife and mother who is bored with her life. But she is awakened when she meets Bernard (Bory), a younger man with whom she embarks on an affair. Often talked of as part of the French New Wave, Malle's second film with Moreau established both her sensuous onscreen persona and the director as a key figure in French cinema. (StudioCanal UK)
