Summary
Three friends face mid-life crises. Paul is a writer who's blocked. François has lost his ideals and practices medicine for the money; his wife grows distant, even hostile. The charming Vincent, everyone's favorite, faces bankruptcy, his mistress leaves him, and his wife, from whom he's separated, wants a divorce. The strains on the men begin to show particularly in François and Paul's friendship and in Vincent's health. A younger man, Jack, becomes attractive to Lucie, François's wife. Another young friend, the boxer Jean, who's like a son to Vincent and whose girlfriend is pregnant, has taken a bout with a merciless slugger. Has happiness eluded this circle of friends?

🎬 Les amis, les amours, les emmerdes par Claude Sautet. Un portrait convivial et très juste d'une bande d'amis quadragénaires issus de la classe moyenne. Des acteurs fabuleux, Michel Piccoli, Yves Montand, Serge Reggiani, Gérard Depardieu, Stéphane Audran, Marie Dubois. Un succès au box-office français, 2,8 millions de spectateurs en 1974. Tout est dans les regards, les gestes, les non-dits, on peut percevoir le désespoir d'Yves Montand ou la solitude de Michel Piccoli. Un excellent film. 🎬 🎬 🎬
