Overview
The first of Éric Rohmer’s Comedies and Proverbs, The Aviator’s Wife tracks a hilarious and thrilling series of misunderstandings and coincidences over a single day in Paris. While paying his girlfriend Anne (Marie Rivière) a visit after a long nightshift at the post office, François (Philippe Marlaud) spots her leaving with Christian (Mathieu Carrière), an old lover of hers. Betrayed, jealous and sleep-deprived, François later spots Christian in a cafe with a blonde woman and decides to follow them. Meanwhile, Anne spends her workday consumed by her early morning visit from Christian who told her he is moving away to be with his wife and child.
Why You Should See This Film
Commencing with the proverb, "It is impossible to think about nothing", The Aviator’s Wife is a comedy about overthinking, jumping to conclusions and never really being sure what one wants or why one is doing something. What begins as a melodramatic misunderstood betrayal morphs into something resembling Hitchcock's Vertigo, twisted again by the introduction of a scrutinising third party. Repeat collaborators Marie Rivière (The Green Ray, A Tale of Autumn) and Anne-Laure Meury (Boyfriends and Girlfriends) are also particularly electrifying in this sprawling Parisian web of confusion and love.
