Plot.
A featurette directed by French actress Edwige Shaki where Eric Rohmer worked as a technical adviser, THE CURVE is a movie that has the inimitable Rohmer stamp. Talky, it makes its fifteen minutes seem a little longer. However, it's a playful little thing, where an art student meets his grandfather, a sculptor, and both exchange ideas about that part of the woman that is so alluring -- the curve of her back.

Wiki.
La Cambrure (The Curve) is a 1999 French short film shot in video, directed by Edwige Shaki who also wrote the scenario. Éric Rohmer was a technical advisor and editor for the movie. Despite being directed by Shaki, some of Rohmer's trademarks, extensive dialog and beautiful young actors, including Shaki herself, are present.
This short film was the first digital cinema production to be presented in a commercial theater, at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1999. The short was produced in preparation for Rohmer's feature film The Lady and the Duke, in which Shaki also appeared.
