Love in the Afternoon aka Chloe in the Afternoon (1972)

The title is kind of a misnomer because I didn't get the impression they especially liked each other. French guy (Bernard Verley) works in a small office in Paris. He starts hanging around during lunch with Chloe (Zouzou), the ex-girlfriend of a friend who he hasn't seen in years. His wife is pregnant and they already have a baby. It's an Eric Rohmer movie so they converse a lot.

It looked good. They tended to film in medium long shot. Two or three butt shots.

The guy shops for turtlenecks. The salespeople were different in Paris. One seemed slightly impatient. The guy didn't like the blue turtleneck so the salesman says buy the green one then. A young woman talks him into getting a plaid shirt which didn't look very good. 

Available on the Criterion Channel.
