A Good Marriage
Eric Rohmer
France,
1982
“Who doesn’t daydream? Who doesn’t build castles in the air?” A proverb by French poet Jean de La Fontaine provides the inspiration for the second film in Eric Rohmer’s Comedies and Proverbs series, a morally shaded study of self-delusion and romantic folly. After being burned one too many times by married lovers, art-history student Sabine (Béatrice Romand) resolves to land a husband of her own. The problem: she sets her sights on successful lawyer Edmond (André Dussollier), who seems none too interested in her increasingly desperate advances.
