A Life of Illusion

.

.

All the characters are ordinary people living ordinary lives. And the heroine Sabine is the embodiment of the modern woman strugging, find enough time to work, study and have love affairs Wedding in Le Mans where her fatherless family lives, she commutes A Parts by train, where she is finishing up her master's degree history part-time. Aspring for a better way of life. Sabine .

And of course she's involved in a typically.

THERE'S ONLY ONE problem-Sabine doesn't know who she's going to marry, she justs wants to tie that illustrious knot. And that's where the fun begins.

Beatrice Romand as Sabine makes her character a real treat to which. We never know what she's going to do next-but we do know will have to do with the pursuit of Her Intended. As her victim, the selects a stereotype of bachelorhood--a rich, handsome. Parisian lawyer named Edmond (Andre Dussolier). Her game of cat and mouse monopolizes the rest of the film and her actions reveal her desperation in finding a true place for herself in society. Of course, various plans to entrap the unsuspecting Edmond are amusing in their simple . But in the end, the indefatiguable pursuit of the values embedded in modern society.

the movie subserves the message about . Roman's portrayal of Sabine reveals an honest to fit in. Initially, Sabine appears to be nondescript--an average, appealing woman. But as the movie progresses, she becomes more and more attractive. Romand enables this gradual transition to occur by maintaining a freshness in Sabine's character. Her graceful movements and low lilting voice give Sabine's a youthfulness that shows the transitory nature of her desire for a husband.

Romand's Sabine inspires similarly steady portrayals by the other actors. Dussolier, as the poor besieged Edmond, fills his character with the proper conceited detachment. And Arielle Dombasie as Sabine's best friend Clarisse creates the perfect foil for Sabine. Gorgeous and intelligent. Clarisse lives the perfect, foil for life--she's happily married and gainfully self-employed. Humoring her confused friend, Clarisse's devotion never fades.

Ultimately, Sabine realizes the futility of her search. Her self-enlightenment takes a while to occur as she becomes a melange of bygone stereotypes. Even her mother says her new morals are a hundred years behind the times. No one these days feels that becoming a housewife should be a woman's sole aim in life. And no one anymore refrains from sexual contact before marriage. Sabine is trying in vain to live out a story-book like fantasy where prince falls in love with beautiful princess, they get married, and live happily ever after.

BUT THOSE OLD sterotypes are no longer valid, Still, Rohmer shows that although people have to deal with the pressures of modern society, a little dreaming never hurts. Through Sabine's experiences, Rohmer enables us to see what happens when the balance between reality and fantasy gets disrupted. The lightness of the film reveals an optimism about man's ability to thrive in the hectic world provided people don't get caught up in extremes as Sabine does.

The movie's message doesn't hurt us or even depress us, it simply follows the quotation the movie begins with about preventing ourselves from wanting to build castles in Spain. of course, everyone would like to live in a wonderful gothic palace, but such thoughts are better left for fairytales and dreams. Sabine learns her lesson and lives happily-ever-after in her own little way and as for us, well we leave full but not unpleasantly stuffed.
