Let's play, this Postcard Friendship Friday. Do you know the French film La Ronde? It's a film directed in 1950 by Max Ophüls and based on Arthur Schnitzler's 1897 play Reigen. The film title is often translated as Roundabout. The episodes of the novel and the film are about illicit sexual encounters, and after each encounter, one of the two partners forms a liaison with the next person, resulting in an unbroken circle (ronde) by the end. So let's go roundabout with film partners postcards.
