What Love at the Top Is About

A shy bank clerk works up the nerve one day to ask a young woman for coffee, and the evening ends somewhere he did not expect. When he tells a writer friend about it, the friend takes the matter seriously and starts steering him, teaching him which woman to approach and how. The clerk rises fast, through women, positions and money. What it costs only becomes clear later. Michel Deville's film puts Jean-Louis Trintignant, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Romy Schneider and Jane Birkin together. It tells a story of ascent in a comic register and lays something cold underneath it: for one person to rise, other people have to be used.
