New Showbiz Analysis

A Taste for Women functions as a typical crime-comedy of its time. While the film includes a diverse cast, it does not actively seek to disrupt social hierarchies. The narrative sticks to conventional moral frameworks prevalent in 1960s French cinema. The storyline centers on a writer investigating a vegetarian restaurant, following well-established mystery clichés. This adherence to tradition prevents the exploration of more radical or multi-layered themes.
