In La Belle Rosine, a visiting professor is seduced by the women of the city, and the film charts the difficult circumstances that follow. Director Gaetan Verdikt stages the story as a slow entanglement, and the photography leans into that mood: warm, flattering interiors that mirror the professor’s self-image, set against a city that owes him nothing. The framing indulges him before the story starts to take him apart, so the images carry the same irony as the script. Photographed by Victor Maes.
