Alexandre le Bienheureux / Very Happy Alexander (1968)
This is a strangely great film. It is a comedy with many moments of uncontrollable hilarity. But what is special about it is that it haunts you long after you have seen it. The images sit vividly in your mind. The themes are built with great cleverness yet extremely subtly and entertainingly. This is a film of intelligence. It is superficially about the eternal war between men and women. But that is just the familiar context and not the real subject. It is really about small town customs and mores and how being different is a problem. It also has an extremely clever cyclical theme. A delightful, beautiful country farce reminiscent of Mr. Hulot in Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle .. . how every man adapts to the modern world, set in comedic proportions.
