Overview

One day, on a whim, Marc decides to shave off the moustache he's worn all of his adult life. He waits patiently for his wife's reaction, but neither she nor his friends seem to notice. Stranger still, when he finally tells them, they all insist he never had a moustache. Is Marc going mad? Is he the victim of some elaborate conspiracy? Or has something in the world's order gone terribly awry?

'gt; How would you feel if I shaved off my mustache?

One of the greatest and most underrated of French cinema. Lindon’s best role. It’s hard to describe what is it about, how we see our reality vs people we know, and your spouse. I’ve been in similar situation when you realise that events can’t be described rationally and to survive and keep your sanity you can accept that multiple realities exist.

At first '#34;La Moustache'#34; seems to be a darkly witty commentary on what we notice or don'#39;t notice about one another; we'#39;re so lulled by the predictable and the commonplace, it implies, that we fail to recognize change. Then it widens into a reflection on marriage and the notion that two people, no matter how intimately connected, inhabit separate worlds. An illusion of oneness requires each partner to overlook or deny the other'#39;s unknowable qualities. This handsomely photographed fable is grounded in strong performances by Mr. Lindon and Ms. Devos, who are entirely convincing as a long-married, childless couple, whose relationship still has pockets of passion. '#34;La Moustache'#34; views events entirely through Marc'#39;s eyes. Agnès increasingly emerges as a headstrong, changeable enigma, not to be contradicted. The film is likely to frustrate those who demand that a mystery be solved and wrapped up with tidy explanations. But its refusal to tie everything up in ribbons and bows is one of its strengths. Even after it finally exits the rabbit hole, and the Thiriezes find a tentative peace, unanswered questions and contradictions hover over their cozy rapprochement like anxious spirits.
