This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In French with English subtitles. Also known as A Very Private Affair.

In virtually no time at all, 18 year old Jill (Brigitte Bardot) is propelled from total obscurity to stardom. While pursuing dancing lessons in Paris, she is hired as a fashion model before starting a career as an actress. Jill's films are a hit and she becomes the most talked about woman in France. At first, the attention of the world's press works in her favor. She is hailed as screen goddess and her film career goes from strength to strength. But then it all becomes too much for her. She has a nervous breakdown and attempts suicide. Leaving a sanatorium, she attempts to find her mother, in vain. Instead she meets up with Fabio (Marcello Mastroianni), an Italian intellectual who was once married to one of her friends. With no one else left, Jill clings to Fabio and becomes his mistress. However, he seems to be more interested in a stage play he is producing. Jill's acting career may be over but the journalists are still there, ready for their next feeding frenzy…

5 of 5 Slow - But Worth It December 18, 2014
Reviewer: Bert, New York from New York, NY United States  
A much-loved, sex bomb movie star needs a long rest, and a man who will love her for herself. This is a daring film that could only have come out of the new wave. The tedium on view throughout much of the film requires patience, but the payoff comes in the final minute, which will stun you, not only because of its sadness, but because of the intense beauty of its execution.
