Cast: Jean Yanne, Françoise Fabian, Francis Blanche

I am surprised to see that this film is not commented yet. It was only released in VHS. The seventies are very interesting, it was a turn in the french movie history. And Jean Yanne was one of the most important element in this part. So daring, so offbeat in his way of writing and playing, which this film is the perfect example. He plays here a ministry clerk who bores at home, with his gorgeous wife - played by Françoise Fabian - and who have a mistress - the beautiful Nicole Calfan, who was Yanne's lover in actual life. An acid picture of the society of this time. A topic that Yanne was always fond of. All long his long career.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The satire subgenre uses humor, irony, exaggeration, and parody to critique and comment on various aspects of society, culture, politics, institutions, and human behavior. Satires aim to provoke thought, highlight absurdities, and expose hypocrisy by presenting familiar situations in a distorted or exaggerated manner. They entertain while also providing social commentary and encouraging viewers to reflect on the subjects being criticized.
