Le Divorcement

About This Movie

Le Divorcement is a curious little piece from 1979, not quite mainstream but certainly intriguing. It dives into the complexities of relationships and familial ties with this couple who decide to pursue a divorce right in front of their kids. The tone has this odd mix of humor and melancholia, which makes it feel a bit like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The performances are a bit raw, which adds a layer of authenticity to the characters' bewilderment. It’s not your conventional drama—pacing meanders as the story unfolds, almost like a slice-of-life approach, making you question what true happiness looks like in relationships. It’s distinctive for how it captures the absurdity of life’s twists in such a mundane setting.

Le Divorcement has attracted a niche audience, primarily due to its unconventional narrative style and the themes it tackles. The film is not seen often, which adds to its allure among collectors. It’s worth noting that there is limited information on its distribution history, leading to some scarcity in physical formats. As a result, it tends to pop up infrequently at collector events, making any available copies of interest for those keen on deep-cut dramas.
