I appreciated some of the strange situations and there is an interesting reference to Charles Baudelaire as part of a humorous scene in the film. The film caused me to laugh out loud several other times. The film transcends prewar French society and still seems relevant today. It is fairly simple plotwise, get compelling. I recommend watching it.
