Dir: Éric Rohmer
1982
**
I think the big problem with this instalment (the 2nd) of Éric Rohmer's Comedies et Proverbes is that it isn't particularly funny. Beatrice Romand was much more likable as a child, I found her character to be really quite annoying, perhaps this was intentional, but for all the comparisons made between Rohmer and the films of Chabrol, at least Chabrol had the decency of killing off half of his cast - something that would have improved Le Beau Mariage quite considerably. There is a distinct 1980's thing that I like about the film but nostalgia aside, it's a big disappointment.
