Carole Laure is depressed and has no taste for anything except knitting sweaters for her partner. Her companion, Gérard Depardieu, offers her to Patrick Dewaere, who becomes infatuated with her, but her spleen and her moods do not change. They are ready to do anything to help her, because they love her as they say. They meet a 13 year old teenager, who will make things evolve and change.
Bertrand Blier has built a concept film where Carole Laure and Riton Liebman are at the center.
Bertrand Blier's talent is present: dizzying dialogues and interpretations for a story whose twists and turns lead, as is often the case with him, to a tragedy of the bourgeoisie, which here again is shaken and turned upside down. Under the guise of a comedy, the film is a drama through multiple components. As is often the case, music plays an important role, here with Schubert, and Patrick Dewaere's character who is a Schubert enthusiast. And reading (he has an entire collection of paperbacks).
We find emotion, tenderness, enormities. That the actors jubilate to provide, we feel it well. With dialogues still and always exciting and impressive.
