1969 romantic comedy
Rating: 15/20
Plot: Guy gets married, then gets bored, then attempts to woo his much-younger secretary.
This Etaix comedy is more reminiscent of Woody Allen, though more polite, than Buster Keaton. It's got that playful Woody-esque vibe with a whimsical look at marriage and in-laws, but it's also a little darker, though still comical, investigation at domestic ennui and infidelity as well. This is all about the fun little moments, some of them pretty inventive. Most surrealistically--and probably memorably--are a pair of scenes with a rolling bed. It looked like it could be something from a Bunuel movie actually. Slight, fluffy, but nonetheless charmingly satirical. This doesn't feel vital like Yoyo, but it's worth watching if you like this sort of whimsical French comedy or Woody.
