Die perfekte Ehefrau

Typically tough teachers of yester year with their real personalities popping out throughout the film. Delightful written, touching on taboo subjects of the time. Teenage girls will always be rebellious and thoughtful no matter the life they live in. This film was not about them. They are there for the background. This movie is entirely the domain of the teachers. A lost love. Family commitments. A whole range of secrets and dreams. Mostly this is about the married owner of the school and her sister in law. She is creepy and funny and weird all at the same time. She is the real star of this movie. Her and her stylish sister in law find liberation, happiness and a new independence, along with the students they teach. I watched this in another language with closed captions. Thoroughly delightful.

I can see no reason why this movie is made. No relevance at all

It's a lovely whimsical comedy up until the last 5 or 10 minutes. The ending came off as too heavyhanded and forced and like the screenwriter ran out of ideas.

Set in an interesting time of the French history, that must be the only interesting part of the story. Actors are okay but the message is ridiculous.

Cheerful. Emotional. Cheerful. Dumb. Cheerful. French. I enjoyed a lot. Maybe a little bit over feminist and over musical ending. But still recommended as a good mood movie.
