A vanity project for novelist-turned-filmmaker Romain Gary based on his original screenplay, this would-be art film featured his wife Jean Seberg as a suicidal nymphomaniac languishing on a desolate beach in the Caribbean (it was filmed on the coast of Spain). It was considered a major debacle by most critics and has since vanished from sight (even though it was produced by a French subsidiary of Universal Pictures). But striking images and scene stills from it remain along with its infamous reputation (it received an X rating) which is reason enough for cinephiles obsessed with beautiful, doomed Jean Seberg to seek it out.
