A black comedy about seduction,marriage and family life

Jean-Paul Belmondo is a very good acteur: he can play roles of thief,policeman, adventurer, swindler, but also roles of seducer.In this dark comedy about seduction,marriage and family life he speaks of the moral beauty of the ugly women: the seduction play in his meeting with Christine is quite fine.But the things will change when in his marriage in the church he sees his sister -in-law.Then we have some comic black events (how to eliminate the lovers of Martine). I am not an uncondicional fan of Claude Chabrol: Docteur Popaul,who had a good commercial success, doesn't convince me very much: there are better films of Claude Chabrol such as "La ligne de démarquation","Le Boucher","La femme infidèle" or "Avant que la bête meure".
