My Wife Goes Back to School

About This Movie

My Wife Goes Back to School is a comedy that dabbles in themes of self-discovery and societal expectations, set against a backdrop of eccentric boarding school antics. Aristide Buratti, a well-off grocer, finds himself in an amusing predicament when his wife Valentina, feeling inadequate due to her educational background, decides to hit the books. The film captures this juxtaposition between their affluent lifestyle and the often ridiculous trials of school life. The pacing has that classic early '80s vibe—somewhere between leisurely and punchy—but it works. The performances, especially from the lead, are earnest, bringing a nice layer of charm to the absurdity. It’s a quirky exploration of marriage and identity, with a lighthearted feel that’s both refreshing and a bit dated, in a good way.
