quintessential French new wave moment

I'm currently re-watching François Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player". My favorite scene is when Clarisse (Michèle Mercier) strips and gets into bed with Charlie (Charles Aznavour). After the audience's first exposure to nudity in the film, Charlie covers Clarisse with the blanket and tells her that this is how it's done in the movies. Then, she turns to the camera and strikes a pose:

So great!
