The story of Francois Roussel, a young playwright, who can't choose between three women.
Acting
Lindon's passive-aggressive charm carries the whole mess.
Writing
Dialogue so French it practically smokes Gauloises.
Director
Jean-Pierre Ronssin

Ronssin never directed another feature; this remains his singular statement on masculine stagnation.
Released during the '90s French indie boom, when commitment-phobe protagonists were practically a national export.
