Lover for a Day, which completes a thematic trilogy of sorts with Garrel's Jealousy (2014) and In the Shadow of Women (2016), is one of his more enchanting specimens.

The plot alone of this elegantly shot black-and-white import shares the Woodman’s affection for variations on lusty middle-age man who beds — and tutors — an adoring decades-younger nubile conquest.

The scenario almost seems an apologia for the film’s own subject matter, crafted with the awareness that audiences have outgrown the May-December trope.
