Our take

From New Wave master Éric Rohmer comes A Good Marriage, the second film in his “Comedies and Proverbs” series. Taking as its inspiration La Fontaine’s proverb “Who has not built castles in Spain?”, this heartwarming dramedy watches a romantically dissatisfied young woman try to plot out love.
