Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
sourpussss Whenever I'm asked what is my favorite movie I always say this one, though I haven't seen it since the late 70's when I was 16. It played for a week or two in my mid-west town and I managed to see it 3 times, just overwhelmed with this concept of romance. I took a friend who'd probably never seen a subtitled movie - worried that she would think I was an nutty perv - but she "got it" and liked it too. Romantic love, affection and sex between 3 people, shown so casually and sweetly - I can't let go of it. I love to see that others have felt the same.I've looked for the movie on eBay and Amazon every year, but except for an out-of-print and expensive director's collection (in French format), no luck. Sigh.Though not about a trio, the Argentinian movie Plan B has some of the same sweetness that gets under your skin.
karin-ruisch I've seen this film more than 20 years ago, but last night it came back to my memory. The movie made me feel good and raised the longing, for why are we so exclusive in our loves. why isn't it possible to accept the loves of our beloved ? Hence the title. The film gives a nostalgic feeling to such a life. First it shows how the marriage à trois works, than a second woman is introduced. One of the men falls in love with her. You think, that this will be the end for the love of the others. That he will leave with his new love, but then.....It evokes the dream, that this is a possible situation, but it also shows, that everybody wants one, unique love. It is contradictory, but charming.
jogajo This is one of my very favorite films and unforgettable to me. I tend to like movies about unusual lifestyles that work well and pose the question(to me): "Why should we be stuck with the 'nuclear family' model as the ideal?" It expands the limits. The movie flowed, it was sweet, the characters were engaging and the story engrossing. This movie has a French or European sensibility and I doubt that it would have been made in America and certainly not in the year of its release 1977. I would love to own it. Other movies of a similar nature were "Jules et Jim" & "Dona Herlinda & Her Son"(Mexican). Any info on how to obtain a VHS or DVD would be greatly appreciated.I WROTE THE ABOVE IN OCT 2005 I AM WRITING AGAIN IN DEC 2007 TO ASK IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW I CAN SEE THIS FILM AGAIN. WHERE DID SOME OF THE OTHER COMMENTORS SEE IT.
Fides ... or a confused woman/man in the middle of an identity crisis! This wonderful comedy - it combines successfully the hilarious and the horrible - has nevertheless a strong underlying message of great seriousness: What matters is people, and their love for each other, and their strength to carry on. I've loved this film ever since I first saw it. It seems to be almost forgotten (except in Germany, where it still is a cult movie) - I am looking forward to the day when it will be released on video or DVD.
