La Carrière de Suzanne (1963)

Suzanne's Career is another of Rohmer's short moral films. 

This time it's a pharmacy student in Paris named Bertrand who carries on a friendship with this friend's fling, Suzanne. His male friend is not a kind one and rather manipulative. They take advantage of her financial generosity while at the same time being quite annoyed with her. All the characters' lives take a turn in the end, giving Bertrand a new perspective on Suzanne and her motives.

The film is plenty full of tension and is not predictable in any way.
