Comments

Marlene and Bernard are representative of a generation expelled by lack of means of a nerve center. This spiral has extended irremediably towards the outside of the capital for 40 years. At the moment when they can be finally posed after innumerable research, they note with more or less bitterness that their small nest of love is located at 50 km of Paris.

What imports, their love is with the top of these nuisances. After the euphoria of emménagement, the galères start. Alarm clock at five o'clock in the morning, winter like summer; transport by bus and train for Marlène, car for Bernard who is representative in dental products.

The every day same the galère without hope of improvement. Hours of transport, sweat accumulated without hope of counterpart.

Exhausted by these daily displacements that environments of office of Marlène are far from attenuating, the couple is liquefied slowly.

In this year 1973, real construction is still prosperous, May 68 is former only of a few years. The consumer society reveals its first charms, the possibility of home-ownership is tempting for young couples which do not hesitate to acquire apartments far from the capital.

The debates between sociologists start to start on positivity to position the middle-class far from the cities in their inculcating only one food challenge of body and spirit with the races in the hypermarket saturdays, accompanied by the purchase of the tele program. Their only pleasures being in order to decompress to wash their cars Sunday.

The cinema often develops a parallel between a topicality and a fiction: all the tenants of these residences, certainly comfortable (it was the basic argument to allure a population in the beginning badly placed or targeted for the purchase of an apartment), but located far from their work places, are hardly caricatured.

The CRS racist and antiyouth whose woman bates without complexes the meat of her neighbors, the driver beauf, Marie his wife light and available to wishes, the owner of the factory of Marlène with two steps of the depression.

All these people stressed and déculturés by nature or obligation are the completed image of old working Paris, they do not answer the “friqués” criteria more and intellos” of the capital, driven out without regards their simplicities popular does not have any more the dimension.

The film offers situations cocasses, certain constraints of commuters are laughing (the couple with the shifted schedules seeing itself only the weekend).

The nonsense of ingurgiter daily and unnecessarily a gust of kilometers which use in the short run physical energy and intellectual of a category of citizen amorphous which move away more and more from the sphere of decision is effectively shown.
