Monique

About This Movie

So, 'Monique' from 1970 is this quirky little French comedy that has a certain whimsical charm. It revolves around Monique, the au pair, who finds herself entwined in a rather complicated love triangle with her employers, Jean and Bill. The pacing feels a bit relaxed, almost allowing the viewer to soak in the peculiar dynamics of the household. You can’t help but notice the way the film explores themes of desire and jealousy, all while maintaining a light-hearted tone. The performances have this playful quality, particularly with the vibrant chemistry among the trio, making it distinctive in its approach to the genre.

This title has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat harder to find than more mainstream comedies from the same era. Collectors often note the scarcity of original prints, especially in good condition. Interest in 'Monique' tends to come from those who appreciate offbeat narratives and the exploration of unconventional relationships, so it holds a unique spot in niche collections.
