A young ambitious student wishes to succeed and to make a beautiful marriage... The protagonist knows well that it will be hard but has the reasons for: on the other hand she is smart enough to know that the social background matters a lot - as she said to her friend Clarisse, we cannot have a free mind and a free body everywhere, it is especially the money who allows us to sugar the pill! And there is that she suddenly chooses a poor guy who is a lawyer in real life, somebody who's not a "pitiful" according to herself.
The number one's principle of the movie being to demonstrate it then regrettably, its opposite. Because Sabine also makes a mistake, but I would not tell you why or what in order to not spoil nothing of this work, which's absolutely one of more successful of Rohmer, this cult director being capable of the worst like the very best as for some of his movies. On the other hand know firstly that rohmerians often denigrates " the beautiful marriage " and it's natural because this full-length film scratches in the place where you must not. Anti- bourgeois, anti-hipster, this movie is to be seen and mainly for its brunette bold heroine not so pointless who also proves to ourselves that being a provincial or living in a big town; it's anyway the same thing for many of us.
The B.O. says moreover dice the beginning by this fast and wriggling electronic track, been born before this illusion of marketing what we name today "french-touch". And if it begins with a light comedy it is to press better on the ridiculous, disgusted of these predicted preset things that we would prefer all to avoid before any of this... especially glaucous physical appearance which seems to be obliged in the love scenes and that this young father with theses swines kids (who phones every time at every hour of day. And every hour of the night too) personalizes it par excellence (as we say in french).
So, the whole is almost a masterpiece, in spite of its so long typical conversations of the author. And I know well what I'm talking about - comme on dit en France.
