A Simple Story - 1978 - 7/10
AKA - Une Historie Simple
Marie, above, caught at the moment when she dumps her going-nowhere boyfriend.
French drama of relationships, primarily female relationships.
Most of the women work in the same company, which has recently merged with another.
Workers face redundancies, management tries to gloss unpleasantness.
The females are more like sisters, venting on each other, or lending support, emotional or physical.
Males are not caricatures, though they are secondary. This is very much a chick bonding film.
Very good vehicle, by the way, to catch Romy Schneider.
