The Stuntman

A seducer named Dupont is ordered to marry a woman to "repair" the damage done to her, which is a little complicated for him because he is already married, and cannot enter into a new union under penalty of bigamy. And yet, the dilemma is: marriage or death! Fortunately, this unfortunate man discovers a double on the street corner who agrees, for a fee, to play the role. All works fine, the double easily gets used to his character until Mrs. Dupont, meeting him in the street and taking him for her legitimate husband, insists on accompanying him.

The Ragpickers of Emmaus

The Emmaüs community opened and functioned thanks to the generous impetus of Abbé Pierre Groues, bringing together a cross-section of the underprivileged: unemployed truck drivers, former paratroopers, young people leaving prison, etc., and underprivileged families. The "ragpickers" manage to make a bit of money by practicing the art of "chine", while the abbé tries his hand at winning radio games. The accident and death of one of them will unite the Emmaus companions even more.

Le Fusible (Télévie)

Paul, a businessman, is about to radically change his life... He has planned everything down to the smallest detail: the lucrative sale of his website to a Russian company, his divorce from his wife Valérie, and his departure for a paradise island with his mistress. The only person privy to his scheme and plans is his friend Michel, a computer genius who is naive and prone to blunders, but who follows Paul like a beacon... But on the eve of this fateful day, everything changes: a short circuit causes the oven to explode just as Paul is in the kitchen. He emerges unscathed, but against all odds, he has completely lost his memory. With the help of a doctor specializing in amnesia, Michel will do everything he can to help his friend, because time is of the essence: Ilona, the emissary from the Russian company, is expected to arrive any moment to finalize the contract.

The Suburbs Are Everywhere

He is a sales rep. She is a secretary. They live in the suburbs but she works in Paris. They don't see much of each other and spend much of their time in commuter trains. They try desperately to change job locations to be more often together, but... The plot is not the important thing in the film ; what makes it emblematic of the early and mid-seventies is the insouciant atmosphere. The '74 oil crisis had not yet morphed into a recession, and life was good - even though it was as hard as ever to find a home near one's workplace (or the reverse) ! Marthe Keller and Jacques Higelin are both excellent. The movie is not an all-time great, but it captures the "zeitgeist" of French life in the Seventies.
