Would Godard's Masculine-Feminine (a personal favorite) fit with what's being asked for? It's supposedly based on two short stories by De Maupassant (sp?), one called "Paul's Mistress" and the other called "The Signal." I haven't read any of these, so I'm not exactly sure how they were combined into the film. In addition, Godard doesn't seem the type to do straightforward adaptation, so I have no idea how much MF differs from its source material.
