Exploits of a Young Don Juan

Exploits of a Young Don Juan (1986) is a provocative and audacious period piece set in 1914, where sixteen-year-old Roger returns home from boarding school to a house brimming with alluring women whose lives are entangled with absent men. Exploiting their vulnerability, Roger seduces and impregnates each of them, including his aunt and sister, brazenly plotting to undermine the absent men's fidelity. Director Claude Chabrol’s lens captures the moral decay and lascivious undercurrents with a chilling detachment, rendering the scandalous narrative both unsettling and eerily clinical.
