aka: My Wife as a Businessman
Film Synopsis
Arlette is a ruthlessly ambitious woman who is prepared to do anything
so that her husband Pierre, a timid, weak-willed mediocrity, will
succeed in business. Realising that Pierre has no particular
aptitude for anything, Arlette has no choice but to get him to bluff
his way to the top. She rents a luxury aparment and, by
exercising her guile, she arranges for her husband to be appointed the
managing director of a perfume factory. There is nothing that a
determined woman cannot achieve if she sets her mind to it...
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
