Watteau managed to skim off Rubens' lustrous surface and endow it with a still greater sense of nuance, while leaving his master's tyrannous physicality behind. To look at his fētes champětres -those felicitously idealized gatherings of young lovers, planted on the unchanging lawn of a social Eden-is to think of pollen and silk, not flesh.

He spent most of the war years in Moscow attending the Higher Party School...

Whatever the intent, the result is an aimless bust, unencumbered by a visual or structural scheme. It wanders through a series of tony boîtes, boutiques and hotel lobbies in the vagrant hope of witnessing a privileged moment. Those are likely to occur only when Hepburn is onscreen.
