Scarlet Fever

About This Movie

Scarlet Fever is an intriguing slice-of-life comedy that captures the whimsical struggles of a young boy, Roger, who finds himself in a predominantly female household in Paris. The film has this charming, almost surreal quality, as it navigates the complexities of gender roles through Roger's innocent lens. Aghion’s direction allows for some delightful moments of absurdity, and the pacing feels leisurely yet engaging, as we get a genuine glimpse into the dynamics of this unique family. The performances are sincere, particularly from the women surrounding Roger, each bringing their own quirks to the table. It's fascinating how the film plays with themes of masculinity and isolation, making it a distinctive watch in the realm of 80s comedies.
