Claude Roc & a Hard Place...
22 January 2023
Claude Roc has been invited to the coast, where two sisters and a mother will be host, a trip from gay Paris to Wales, lets him gather up his sails, he has ambitions of becoming a betrothed. It's a pleasant and quite ordinary stay, he falls for Muriel but parents have their say, a resolution is prepared, a separation for a year, after which they can agree to run or play.

It's not the most exciting romantic drama you might encounter, some musical chairs, not so passionate affairs, a rather drab and dull performance by Jean-Pierre Léaud who is difficult to disassociate from Antoine Doinel, although generally all the performances and characters are pretty disengaging. Not the best product of François Truffaut's career all told.
