(Le Beau Mariage). Rohmer switches his gaze from philandering hero to marriage-bound heroine in the second of the Comedies and Proverbs. "I've had it with married men!" declares the young art student Sabine, getting out of bed with a married man. Fed up with such frivolity, but too impatient for her rational, happily married future to slowly come along, she decides to pull it out of thin air immediately, and quickly drafts a rather befuddled young lawyer for an appropriate husband. Life-and the lawyer-turn out to be a bit more unpredictable, however, much to the chagrin of the hardcharging Sabine. Béatrice Romand, twelve years after appearing in Claire's Knee, darts expertly between impetuous naivete, ironwilled stubbornness, and vulnerable uncertainty, and deservedly won the Best Actress Award at Venice.
