Valerie Kaprisky (L) and Beatrice Agenin (R) soak up the sun on the French Riviera.

From the film Year of the Jellyfish (L’annee des meduses) from 1984.  Directed by Christopher Frank.  Here is the synopsis of the film from the DVD released by Televista:

Where but on the French Riviera could the concept of mother-daughter toplessness be greeted with such heavenly nonchalance? This film by director Christopher Frank is about a beautiful, voluptuous teenager and mother who vacation together in an atmosphere of utterly casual exhibitionism. The beach is glamorous, the clientele well heeled, and no one spends a nickel on swimwear. So the women are forever rolling things down or peeling things off, and the men never bat an eye. The movie focuses on the erotic rivalry between Chris (Valerie Kaprisky) and her mother Claude. Claude is having an affair with the rakish and shrewd Romain, who specializes in luring topless bathers to his boat and then lending them to his friends. Chris develops a crush on Romain, but he is not interested in her. This infuriates Chris who can’t understand how any man could resist her young perfect body. In reaction to her inability to attract his attention, she experiments in a number of other risque affairs.
