Is There a Frenchman in the House?
An official's earlier rise to power had some sordid aspects that are about to be uncovered by the death of his uncle. While he is trying to contain any potential scandal, the man becomes enamored of the daughter of his uncle's maid. This new romance inspires him to forget worries about a public image and focus on a new life -- not any easy objective when unsavory friends and foes have their own agendas in mind.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a light, almost farcical comedy of manners against the backdrop of a genuine criminal plot. It relies on the contrast between the protagonist's naive yearning for simple happiness and the harsh realities of the world he inhabits.
What lingers after the final act is a witty dance of masks and ambitions, where a romantic impulse becomes the only glimpse of sincerity in a cynical system. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Jean-Pierre Mocky
