action
The art of the young man François is to love two women at the same time, his gentle wife Thérèse and the young postal worker Émilie. In soft pastel tones, Agnès Varda exposes the middle-class idyll in an egocentric world.
criticism
- Beyond all morality, behind the poetry of its pictorial sequences, the film asks the question of happiness for three and answers it with an apotheosis of the young husband, whose gift of happiness is sufficient to love two women. A stylistically appealing theses film, very human, amiable and entertaining for all its construction. His concept of happiness is based more on a utopia than that it stands up to reality. (International Film Lexicon)
- A very humane, entertaining film, which, however, supposedly solves problems of being human in an all too convenient way. Nonetheless, highly recommended for adults, for whom some judgment is to be desired. ( Protestant film observer , review No. 258/1965, p. 469)
