César et Rosalie

Claude Sautet / FR, IT, DE, 1972 / 109 min.

Yves Montand and Romy Schneider shine in Claude Sautet’s tragicomic tale of an unusual love triangle. Rosalie (Schneider) is struggling with her feelings for hot-blooded scrap dealer César (Montand) and a passionately artistic cartoonist.

Claude Sautet’s classic story of a ménage à trois proved an audience hit, just like his previous film Les choses de la vie. Rosalie (Romy Schneider) has feelings for two men: wealthy scrap dealer César (Yves Montand) and cartoonist David. César is coarse, loud and jovial; David is introverted, distant and poetic. Together, they make up The Ideal Man.
