Movie Reviews of A Good Marriage
Movie Review: Rohmer scores again
Summary: 4 Stars
Anyone who watches an Eric Rohmer film and is not entranced must be tired of life. His movies explore, in a way that is unique in the cinema, the myriad relations between people in and out of relationships.
Could this movie have been made in any country other than France? No, it could not! Is this a good thing? Well, there have been quite a few nearly unwatchable French films, particularly in the last 15 years, but I defy anyone who has even the smallest romantic bone in their body to watch this and not be uplifted, moved, charmed.
Summary of A Good Marriage
The second of Eric Rohmer's "Comedies and Proverbs" series, A Good Marriage stars B?atrice Romand as Sabine, a headstrong, emotional Roller coaster of a searching single woman. She impulsively leaves her married lover one night and decides she's going to marry, setting out to find her man with a mixture of romantic idealism and calculated determination. When her best friend Clarisse (Arielle Dombasle, from Pauline at the Beach) introduces Sabine to her handsome cousin Edmond (Andr? Dussollier, Perceval), she seems to have found her mate; it's just a matter of convincing him of the impending marriage. But, alas, all is not so simple in Rohmer's world of modern love. Romand's Sabine is a delightful conundrum: resolute, firm, and fiercely independent on the one hand; moody, impulsive, and emotionally fragile on the other. Like all of Rohmer's films, this is driven by conversation, from uncomfortable small talk to confessions between girlfriends, but Sabine also lives her life, passionately pursuing her goals with the single-minded zest of a woman on a mission. Her road to love may take a few unplanned detours, but Rohmer, the eternal romantic, concludes the film on a delightfully hopeful note packed in a few glances and a flirty smile. --Sean AxmakerArt House & International DVD Video
