CGiii Comment
Rarely does something this special come along...
The humour is sublime...the vision of the Christmas tree will etch itself into your memory.
The direction masterful.
The performances...quite exceptional.
Sadly, this film has disappeared into the mists of time.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Antoine is an accountant, uptight and withdrawn, married to Edith, who picks out his clothes and shoes. He's assigned to a fitness gymnasium for a month to straighten out their books. The owner, M. Roland, encourages Antoine to use the facilities, including the massages, so Antoine goes to Dominique, a muscular African. In these sessions, Antoine discovers that the pain is comforting, and Dominique finds the accountant ideal for his own sadism. When Dominique breaks Antoine's arm and then goes to the hospital to take Antoine away, Antoine confesses his fascination with and fear of death. With Dominique's help, the accountant breaks all earthly ties to confront his fear.
