Drama
aka: Anatomy of a Marriage
Film Synopsis
The story of a married couple in the 1960s, told in two separate
films. Director André Cayatte insisted that both films be
shown together so that audiences could see them on the same day and
form their own opinion. Jean-Marc et la vie conjugale is the
husband's point of view; Françoise et la vie conjugale is the
wife's point of view of the same story.
