The Smile (film)
''The Smile'' (french: Le sourire) is a 1994 French drama film directed by Claude Miller. Moving between reality and dream, it tells the story of a psychiatrist (Jean-Pierre Marielle) facing imminent death who follows the fantasy of one last love affair with a much younger woman (Emmanuelle Seigner). She also follows a fantasy of being a stripper who drives men wild, and is herself close to death.

Never let the blooming flower fade.'' Plot In a private clinic set in a country estate, the aging psychiatrist Pierre-François collapses with a heart attack from listening to the steamy fantasies of a sex-mad young patient Brigitte. After examining him, his wife and colleague Gaby warns him that the next attack could come at any time and will probably be the last one. Feeling the need to settle things, he goes to see his ...
