U.S. title: My Wife's Husband
Tentative English translation of French title: Butter Cooking.
A World War II combatant remains abroad way past the war's end. Upon returning to his native France, he encounters his wife remarried. The new husband is an amiable type, who now runs the restaurant that used to belong to the former husband, now with a different culinary profile.
Congenial low-brow comedy, which is worth watching mainly for the two comedians which star in it. Maybe the movie's most interesting aspect is how the jealousy motif is downplayed relative to the one of contrasting temperaments of people from different regions of France. I found the cinematography stunning, but this may be due to inevitable comparison with recent productions which invariably look like shit.
